Default Federal Aviation Administration to cut more air traffic controllers

Having just one controller on duty is also

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

Incorrect. It is an issue. Fatigued controller working a
double shift without proper rest combined with the FAA
violating their own staffing orders at KLEX.

It is a HUGE issue. The word is Liability. Look it up.

How can you justify cutting controller staffing while you
spend millions on Civil Rights empires in the FAA?

You are on an IFR approach. You are bumping minimums low on
fuel. Would you rather have the FAA spend money on..

1. Air Traffic controllers and ILS technicians or...

2. Kissing the Black Ass boondoggles at a resort spa?

I choose number 1.

The FAA chooses number 2.

It is an issue
