The
Federal Aviation Administration said the unnamed controller slept for five hours intentionally during the midnight shift on Feb. 19 in Knoxville, Tenn.
The difference is the first guy dozed in his chair, while the second fellow apparently made a makeshift bed. At least one emergency situation was delayed while he slept. I have worked night shifts, some lonely and quiet. I know how tiring it can be, and how tempting a tiny little nap can seem when there is nobody around to know the difference. But perhaps it's time to review some policies for changes and up the bar a little, what do you say?
