The FAA sinks deeper into crap over Kentucky accident
Sound Familiar? Let's see!
What has the flying public found out so far about the Kentucky tragedy? We know FAA violated their own orders for minimal ATCT staffing at this location. We know the Veteran controller was being worked like a dog as many "Veteran and experienced" controllers and technicians are. (While many incompetent FAA employees who can't control traffic or repair sophisticated equipment are promoted into Management to meet diversity goals) The controller just missed violating orders regarding sleep requirements by one hour. We know staffing and funding in the FAA for critical people like controllers and technicians is cut short. (All while some contractors swim in FAA tax gravy money treated like Kings and Queens) We know however that in the FAA the new priority is Diversity and Gay groups and Female sensitivity boon doggle conferences at resort hotels funded by a Feminist controlled FAA. Those new priority items are funded without a problem while veteran controllers and technicians work bizarre and stressful shifts and in many locations are undermanned. Hmmmmmmmmmmm................ Repeat after me-FAA-Swarm of lawyer sharks-Wallet-Better be fat-CHAAAAAAAAAAAA-Chinnnnnnnnnnnnnggggggg!!! LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) - The lone air traffic controller on duty the morning Comair Flight 5191 crashed had only two hours of sleep before starting work on the overnight shift, a federal investigator said Wednesday. National Transportation Safety Board member Debbie Hersman said the controller had only nine hours off between work shifts Saturday. That was just enough to meet federal rules, which require a minimum of eight hours off between shifts, Hersman said. "He advised our team that he got approximately two hours of sleep," Hersman said. The controller, a 17-year veteran whose name has not been released publicly, worked from 6:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday. He came back to work at 11:30 p.m. on the same day to begin an eight-hour overnight shift. How many more innocent people will die before the FAA rearranges it's priorities BACK to aviation safety? How many? |
