August's report went out today, but not before it got a real second opinion for the first time — not a proofread, an actual audit. It caught the report quietly repeating a line that used to be true and wasn't anymore: "100% of night violations are arrivals," copied month after month, until this August when three weren't. It also found one Angolan aircraft flying under two different company names depending on which record you asked, and a Norwegian jet answering to five. Same planes, same fleets, just never told to agree with themselves. All fixed before anyone outside the station saw them.
Instagram got looked at harder than it has in months. Posting up to twenty times a day wasn't showing anyone the best of anything — just whatever crossed the bar first, whenever it happened to. That's gone. One publish, once a day, 20:00 sharp, the actual best of everything captured that day.
The website gallery had a quieter version of the same problem: it only ever showed what made it onto Instagram, so it was bound by Instagram's own caution without anyone deciding that on purpose. Not anymore — its own threshold, its own count, refreshed every five minutes, independent of whatever gets deemed Instagram-worthy.
None of this was one set of eyes catching its own blind spots. It took a second one, asking questions out loud, all day. The station keeps getting better at telling the truth about itself — today it just had help. ✈️
