If you don't watch Fox, you might have missed this one.  I haven't seen it mentioned on ABC or CBS, but maybe I missed it there.  :)

 

Air traffic controllers caught on camera apparently sleeping, texting







Last year, Fox also broke a story about air traffic controllers.  At that time, they were accused of being against unions.  This has nothing to do with unions....unless the union is protecting members over the rest of us.

i have a crazy idea - fire the sleepers, and the money saved by not paying them for a few weeks, you can fix the elevator!

Sounds good to me.

had a boss that used to say "i read about this new idea for the workplace - i know it will sound really crazy, never been done, kinda a new age avant-garde thing - but it is called DO YOUR FREAKIN JOB!!!!!"

What a concept.

I always wonder about the folks who say they're Gathering from work or on Facebook all day from work.

Wow, is all I can say.

Makes me glad I don't fly much.
Sandy Moore Feb 26, 2012, 6:46pm UTC
I'm feeling the same way.

Hopefully this is just a few out of many.

Who knows? They usually don't rat on each other. The story Fox broke last year was from another tower.
