"It would be wrong to blame Sunday's crash on the lone controller or the
airport's lack of a second one to direct ground traffic."

The writer is correct, thanks for posting the link.

It's merely one newspaper's editorial, not a final edict.

True, but the writer does say "It would be wrong to blame Sunday's crash on
the lone controller or the airport's lack of a second one to direct ground
traffic." It appears JohnWayne posted it without actually reading it.

That is an editorial and apparently by people who do not fly and
understand the "pilot in command" concept. It has almost zero
usefulness and no credibility to me.

The more mememe (aka oldfart) posts about this subject, the more I begin
to wonder if he has had a license revoked for some unwise act. And the
administrator that wrote him up was probably a black, female controller.


If that's the case, based on his recent display of knowledge and
understanding, she probably did us all a great favor.

Does anyone else start to reach the same conclusion?

I find it interesting that the editorial totally misses the bureau-think
mentality issue.

"We have to have two controllers doing the work on this shift. There
isn't alot going on in Lexington, so let's leave one guy there. We have
extra guys sitting around doing nothing in Indiannapolis. We'll have one
of them do the other stuff for Lexington. Nothing in the rules say they
have to physically be in the same facility, heh, heh!"

The point they missed is that if they have people in Indiannpolis (a
busier facility, higer pay) not doing anything, isn't cheaper to have a
second guy in Lexington (smaller facility, lower pay) doing the same job
and taking some of Indiannoplis' work?

I bet politics has something to do with it.

Could you mangle that sentence any more than that?

The insertion of a single word makes the sentence work fine. It's a
little word, easily missed when typing.

Consider it a puzzle for you.
