I didn't say that. I said the policy does not permit use of sick leave for
drowsiness.

Even drowsiness to the extent of incapacitation? If they are so drowsy
they are not at 100% for work they shouldnt' be there.

They provided it. They felt that controllers could be groggy coming
out of their nap onto their shift.


They did? Cite please.

Among the FAA's new work rules imposed on air traffic controllers last
week was a ban on napping during breaks and, predictably perhaps, the
agency and the controllers union differ on the impact of such a rule.
"Even though they're on break, they can be called back to work at any
time," FAA spokeswoman Laura Brown told The Associated Press. "If they
had to be called back to work traffic and they had been sleeping, they
would be groggy."
