From The Air Traffic Controllers
Statement From NATCA President Paul Rinaldi
WASHINGTON, April 16, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — “NATCA stands in full support of the FAA‘s immediate steps both today and last week to address the recent incidents, including last night’s episode at Miami Air Route Traffic Control Center. NATCA and the FAA are in agreement that fatigue and scheduling must be addressed and I applaud and thank Administrator Babbitt for taking quick and decisive action today to address a large part of the problem and implement immediate steps.
“This latest incident earlier today is of great concern, as it is never acceptable when we don’t provide the level of service expected and required of us on every shift. We take our responsibilities very seriously and believe fatigue is a significant factor in these instances. We will continue to work with the FAA and through our professional standards workgroup to address the issue. Because there was adequate staffing in this large regional radar facility at the time, the incident was caught without any operational impact and no aircraft calls were missed. This shows that one part of the FAA’s plan for addressing this issue announced last week – adding additional staffing on the midnight shift at airport towers – was a wise move.
“However, our main focus is upholding our highest standards of professionalism and working with the FAA to reduce the effects of fatigue. To that end, the Administrator has made a smart move today to prohibit scheduling practices that have been identified as those most likely to result in air traffic controller fatigue. We are working closely with the FAA to continue the significant efforts underway to address fatigue and, as the FAA announced today, more details are forthcoming.
“The guideposts here for further action are the recommendations of the FAA-NATCA joint workforce on fatigue, which were the result of a year and a half of efforts. They provide science-based, healthy solutions to reducing controller fatigue.
“Finally, we are anxious to begin on Monday morning a nationwide tour of air traffic control facilities with the Administrator and other top FAA officials. We will have direct conversations with controllers and continue our call to action to raise awareness, reinforce our professional standards and reaffirm our commitment to the safety of the system.

HOW TO CALL THE POLICE WHEN YOU’RE OLD,AND DON’T MOVE FAST ANYMORE.George Phillips, an elderly man, from Meridian, Mississippi, was going up to bed, when his wife told him that he’d left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window. George opened the back door to go turn off the light, but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things.He phoned the police, who asked “Is someone in your house?”He said “No,” but some people are breaking into my garden shed and stealing from me.Then the police dispatcher said “All patrols are busy. You should lock your doors and an officer will be along when one is available”George said, “Okay.”He hung up the phone and counted to 30. Then he phoned the police again.“Hello, I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people stealing things from my shed. Well, you don’t have to worry about them now because I just shot and killed them both, the dogs are eating them right now.” and he hung up.Within five minutes, six Police Cars, a SWAT Team, a Helicopter, two Fire Trucks, a Paramedic, and an Ambulance showed up at the Phillips’ residence, and caught the burglars red-handed.One of the Policemen said to George, “I thought you said that you’d shot them!”George said, “I thought you said there was nobody available!”Don’t mess with old people!
