      > NEW YORK — Air traffic controller staffing at LaGuardia airport on the night an Air Canada jet collided with a fire truck may have violated the facility’s procedures by combining roles before midnight, according to a document seen by Reuters

      > Staffing shortages, including at the supervisor level, are placing controllers into combined roles handling local air and ground traffic more often, according to several air traffic controllers across the country.

      > The National Transportation Safety Board said last week that as part of its crash investigation, it was seeking information on the duties being performed by each controller.

      > If the controller involved in the crash was performing both air and ground duties, that would be inconsistent with the LaGuardia tower’s standard operating procedures.

      Gee, I wonder which deranged idiot fired a bunch of air traffic control staff early last year…that bastard has blood on his hands.

      The ATC deviated from policy. It’s all their fault! All other parties are not liable, in fact, the airline should sue this individual for the entire cost of damages!

      /S…

      ATC has time and time again been given the award for most stressful job on earth. I work in aviation and ATC is not a job I’d ever take, even for $200,000 per year. FAFO. My family plans to go to Mexico in the near future, no layovers in America… Fuck that.

      We will wait for the whole report, but it’s pretty damning from what I have heard so far. I feel bad not only for the pilots who died but for the air traffic controller who has seemingly been placed in position where an accident is far more likely to have occurred and the implications of that accident to be deadly.

      The ATC was alone.  No relief coming at the end of a 12 hr shift.

      America will grind employees into the ground and still blame them for mistakes.

      And this guy is in a union.

      Business is the abuser.  Their bully is in charge.

      Edit:  he wasn’t alone.  He was just doing the jobs of two people – ground AND air.  As one person.

      Journalists need to fix their headlines.

      ~~LaGuardia controller staffing may have violated procedures~~

      Management and politicians have forced employees into overwork

      Given the shortages, it’s clear the employees had two choices: man the operation against de safeguards, leave and close the airport (which I’d venture a guess is not possible).

      Also if the fire trucks had transponders, the pilot would have seen the vehicle and maybe be able to abort landing. It’s annoying the rep was like this location has 33 of 37 positions staffed, doesn’t matter if you leave it to one guy to do it all.
