Default Federal Aviation Administration to cut more air traffic controllers

Having just one controller on duty is also
problematic [as noted in the recent wrong-runway episode in
Lexington KY (RISKS-24.41)]. [Source: Matthew L. Wald, *The

Non-issue. The pilots were responsible for verifying that they were
on the correct runway.
