The Comair Cradh

"The controller in the tower had worked a 6:30 a.m.-to-2:30 p.m. shift the
day before the accident, then returned nine hours later and worked from
11:30 p.m. until the 6:07 a.m. accident, the NTSB says. He told
investigators his only sleep between shifts was a two-hour nap."

That's nine hours and he knew he had another shift coming up. What is the
FAA expected to do, send someone home with him and make sure he goes to
sleep?

If I get two hours sleep before my mid shift I am thrilled.

The FAA is concerned more now with "Kissing the Black Ass" and hiring
Bull Dikes in upper FAA management and ****ing off white males than Air
safety and controller rest. Don't you know that?

Since when was "Air Safety" a priority at the FAA anyway???
