47. Maybe this is a strike in disguise?
dunno, but I thought fairly curious that suddenly (or maybe not, i don't know) we have a num er of incidents of air traffic controllers "falling asleep". I'm not arguing against assertions that they are overworked and underpaid, I can guess they are and when Reagan busted their union I was appalled that the rest of the nation weren't up in arms over that, because this is the obvious result.

I don't remember but it seems Reagan signed an executive order making it a federal crime for workers in the transportation field to go on strike.. which evoked the question in my mind, whether or not this sudden rise of sleepers could actually be a their way of calling a strike? It would be interesting to learn if there are more of these incidents than is actually being reported.. hmmm..
