If there were an effective union . . . .

[Stinky The Clown]

. . . . there would be a work rule that says no FAA tower can be manned by a sole ATC.

DCA, and 29 other towers, do not.

At DCA, it has been this way since 2002.

2. one air traffic controller to oversee operations of Dulles International

fell asleep the other night. Hell, here in dumbfuckistan Floriduh the law requires two, count em, 2, clerks to be on duty at convenience stores after

8 P.M.

A while before that, one air traffic controller went out to have a smoke and forgot his swipe card on the desk inside. An hour later someone showed up to let him back in.

Oh, I left the part out about the airline pilots landing their airplanes without direction from the control tower while loaded with passengers.

4. I had been wondering about that myself.

What was that controller doing there all by himself?

5. The FAA avers - to this day - that only one controller is needed

Ray LaHood ordered a second one be scheduled at DCA and the 29 other towers that have only one ATC on their graveyard shift.

The right wing noise machine is now after LaHood for being a free spender.
