![]() "bdl" wrote in message oups.com... Even drowsiness to the extent of incapacitation? Yes. The new "contract" says sick leave cannot be granted for rest. If they are so drowsy they are not at 100% for work they shouldnt' be there. FAA management disagrees with you. http://www.avweb.com/eletter/archive.../717-full.html quote 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." /qoute That's simply fascinating. "Groggy" means "dazed and weakened, as from lack of sleep". So FAA management cannot permit controllers to sleep while they're on a break because if they had to be called back to work traffic and they had been sleeping, they would be suffering from a lack of sleep. It was justified. What was the justification? |
