Muscatine

This was done because of the union. These controllers who put hundreds of people's lives on the line should have been fired. This is one of the reasons to get rid of this union power and corruption.

I think with five incidents there is enough public outrage that I don't think even the union will be able to save their butts. Today their boss resigned - he should be ashamed to show his sorry face.

I think the unions would prefer better shift management.   Not have a day shift and a night shift so close together.

Are they allowed to negotiate those working conditions?

Maybe that would take more employees which some would be against.

Or maybe we should reduce staff and just shut down the aiports at night.

With the federal government running air traffic control, there is no consequence for poor management other than to the flying public and the private airlines.  If the air traffic control was privatized, as it is in Canada, there would be improvement through competition, and real consequences to those in charge in the case of screw ups.
