Default 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?
