FAA Suspends Another Air Traffic Controller
Not like people’s lives are important…I’m just gonna watch this movie and then take a nap, and those giant speeding jets will be just fine. Apparently, falling asleep on the job isn’t the only problem air traffic controllers are having. Now, the FAA has suspended one for watching a movie on the job.
Here's the really embarrassing part:
The controller's microphone was inadvertently activated, transmitting the audio of the movie -- the 2007 crime thriller "Cleaner," starring Samuel L. Jackson -- for more than three minutes to all the planes in the airspace that the controller was supposed to be monitoring, the agency said.
This would be hilarious if people's lives weren't in danger.
