Air Traffic controllers only get 9 hours off between shifts?
Ok, I'm confused, so what is the length of their shift? 13 hours?
Truck drivers are NOT allowed to Drive 13 hours straight because of the dangerous results. Most of us working class do 8 hour shifts. Places like 7-11 that operate 24/7 have the good sense to brake the day into 3 eight hour shifts. Is the FAA so screwed up that there isn't enough Air Traffic Controllers to cover this simple Safety Requirement?

Remember too that the Great White Father, Ronald Reagan, summarily fired over 11,000 qualified air traffic controllers who went out on strike against what they considered to be unfair and unsafe working conditions in 1981. Among their demands was a 32-hour work week. The present situation you're asking about is just another of The Great Communicator's mutant chickens coming home to roost. (Trickle-Down Reaganomics, and Afghanistan to name just two others.) I suggest we go for some realistic revisionism and co-name Humpty Dumpty as Man of the Century with Reagan. It's only fair. Here is why.
The other day, I was walking along 41st Street in NYC and saw that there is one of the bronze plaques in the sidewalk there across the street from the library which commemorates Lewis Carroll. It is engraved with just this:
'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.'
'The question is,' said Alice, 'whether you can make words mean so many different things.'
'The question is,' said Humpty Dumpty, 'which is to be master — that's all.'

i replaced into basically thinking in case you even hardship to be sure the hyperlinks you place up with your question? the guy, Robin Horton, who's making those claims wasn't working in Boston as an air site visitors controller for the duration of 9/11 and has no connection to 9/11 in any way, even however he does declare that he knows of a few people who do none of them corroborate his tale and the definitely controllers seem to evaluate him a nut activity. considering that he already belonged to a tin foil hat wearing team, former pilots for 9/11 reality or some thing, formerly making his allegations and has no involvement with 9/11 his claims are not to any extent further valid than the guy under the overpass who's been ingesting Sterno for the final 9 years. come again once you have evidence, real evidence and not this stupid myth based crap that doesn't fool a mentally challenged six grader. Lord the stupidity of a few of you conspiracy people is basically recommendations boggling.

They probably have so few applicants for the position they just have to overwork everyone
