An air traffic controller who lost his job after an investigation found he had been handcuffed to his chair and involved in sexual activity while giving instructions to pilots has won his licence back.

The man appealed the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) director’s decision to revoke his air traffic control licence.

Now a judge has ruled in his favour, saying that while the man did have sex on duty in the control tower, he hadn’t been handcuffed at the time, so hadn’t been physically prevented from doing his duties.

Yeah baby!  (CAA is our equivilent of the FAA)

So, that’s why the don’t answer after the first call or, the second or third call sometimes.

No camera/video to verify his claims?

I suppose recording of video at some point is erased, but even if it’s a smaller airport I’d think keeping it for few years would be prudent.

I guess it would be hard to ever find out given: “Heavy suppression orders apply to the matter.”
