What else not to do as an Air atraffic Controller in USA
We all know about the alleged ATC sleeping issues thaqt have been discovered in the US of A, The latest just reported on NBC is that a controller in Clevelend and his supervisor have been suspended after the controller allegedly watched a DVD at the console, and somehow broadcast 7 minutes of the soundtrack over the air.
Now for the DVD suggestions? Pushing Tin Fyling High |

And it gets worse (at least in the eyes of the US media) for the ATC's.
An aircraft carrying Michelle Obama had to "go around" due to a separation issue and the FAA says that "it is believed to be an Air Traffic Controller mistake". Link here : http://edition.cnn.com/2011/US/04/19...ex.html?hpt=T2 |

This is another problem with all these smartphones/iphones etc.
For the first poster, I read that the Air Traffic Controller was watching a movie on his smartphone/device. iPhones and everything else make it easy to play a game, watch a movie etc etc. Prior to this you might read a book, which is less easy to get fully involved in and ignore the calls coming in. |

Go arounds happen every day.
QF49 went around at NZAA last night ... I'm surprised the media aren't beating QF up over that one. |

David it was Jetconnect not Qf you know it
Andrew- I'n regards to the smartphone issue , I tend to disagree.. In Sydney anyways I'n the TCU for eg phones must be off when inside, not even on silent and I believe atc can only access them on breaks- someone correct me if this is wrong ? Either way though with such a huge system as the us has- circa 650 manned airports? + enroute units etc there's bound to be issues creeping up although not acceptable .. |

There's a great cartoon in today's (Fri-22-Apr) USA Today newspaper of a middle-aged couple booking a flight on their computer at their kitchen table. The caption is of the husband asking the wife:
"I booked us on the late flight. Do we want to upgrade to an awake air traffic controller for an extra $20?" Loved it!
