I stopped reading after the first 2 incorrect assertions, which were the first 2 assertions made by the unknown author.
He notified his super when the transponder was "lost", which was 7 minutes after lost radio contact. This is fine. No, ATC does not notify a super immediately upon lost communications. And, it makes sense that he would after lost communications followed by a lost transponder, which he did.
And 2nd, no, lost communications and transponder does NOT create an emergency aircraft situation. They, he and his supervisor, were monitoring the situation. That's all that's needed. Having a radio communications problem is not an immediate emergency situation.
