I don't understand the point you are trying to make. Are you saying that the air traffic controllers are at fault for being overworked and not given enough time to rest?
After taking ASFAB in high school, the US Air Force tried to recruit me as an air traffic controller. Being a JW at the time, we know how that turned out. Still, I was impressed with myself that the Air Force would make several attempts to recruit me and so did a little reading on the subject. If you want to also read up on the topic: http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos108.htm
"Controllers usually control several planes at a time, often making quick decisions about completely different activities. During busy times, they must work rapidly and efficiently. It takes total concentration to keep track of several planes at the same time and to make certain that all pilots receive correct instructions. The mental stress of being responsible for the safety of several aircraft and their passengers can be exhausting. Unlike tower controllers, radar controllers also have the extra stress of having to work in semi-darkness, never seeing the actual aircraft they control except as a small “blip” on the radarscope. Controllers who work in flight service stations work in offices close to the communications and computer equipment."
The job is highly stressful and exhausting. It is considered to be one of the most stressful jobs in the world. Research has shown that when controllers remain ‘in position’ for more than two hours without a break, performance can deteriorate rapidly, even at low traffic levels. Most countries, except for the USA, ensure that the ATC work for a couple of hours and then get some time off to rest. Here, in the good ol' USA, most ot the ATC work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. Also, most of the controllers work swing shifts making it hard for the body to adjust because of its circadian rhythms.
If our air safety is so important (and it is) then why isn't the FAA being held responsible for not giving their "dicks" enough time to get some decent rest while on duty?
