Kids at the controls
Posted By Tina on March 3, 2010
The interesting news story of the day seems to be about the air traffic controller at JFK letting his kid talk to the pilots. Both the employee and the supervisor have been suspended over this. I understand why so many people are upset over this, but don’t you think a little bit of retraining might be in order here? Seems to me that the kid was just repeating what he was told to say, and adults were right there to correct the situation if the wrong directions were given out. I think suspension of the employees involved is a little bit harsher than necessary. Now to be honest, I don’t know if there are any written rules and regulations that were violated or not. But I think that retraining, not suspension, is a better course of action to take.
