That controller left the Air Force early, 17 months into a 6 year enlistment and stopped controlling traffic because her parents were killed in a plane crash.LAX controller who killed all those people by landing a 737 on a skywest in 1991 was named in the paper. She lives in seclusion to this day
A lot of trainees now don’t even seem phased when they almost have a huge deal. I used to think about that for weeks when I didn’t see something that could have led to something unsafe.Killing innocent people is never okay, intentional or not. You have a duty of being safe in the operation, it's the first part of our job. I feel no different about this person being named than a cop harassing some random person being named
my area has trainees with multiple deals, multiple airspace violations + SUA violations, dropped track which violated another center on an ifr clearance, etc.A lot of trainees now don’t even seem phased when they almost have a huge deal.

training sup and training specialists will acknowledge they're struggling , yet will say "But they'll check out...", in a confident tone.

mismanagement and little resembling accountabilityThis is the ubiquitous attitude which is pervasive all over the NAS. What has happened to ATC?
People aren't afraid to have deals anymore and it showsA lot of trainees now don’t even seem phased when they almost have a huge deal. I used to think about that for weeks when I didn’t see something that could have led to something unsafe.
2018?Lots of “back in my day” whining in this thread.
I definitely think a part of it is the culture with ATSAP. In the military if felt like it mattered more to a avoid deals. Even if it was something small like 2.8 miles, you'd usually get ratings pulled and do some remedial training.A lot of trainees now don’t even seem phased when they almost have a huge deal.

Until you’re the one that’s named. I’m not defending the guy for being a shit controller but seriously, I don’t wish national humiliation on anyone. Be them a cop, controller or indifferent.Killing innocent people is never okay, intentional or not. You have a duty of being safe in the operation, it's the first part of our job.

That's a failure of management then. What are you hoping to gain from blasting someone's name out into the world other than bad things happening to the person.
I heard his sup was too scared to go after him given how said controller was an activist in the peak of BLM fiery but mostly peaceful riots. Ended up retiring and leaving that problem behindI’m not a supe nor am I a danger to the flying public nor am I complicit in the failure and danger of a controller I’m responsible for. That’s irrefutable.
This is a shitty stance to take. People who are complicit in these acts and actively disregard and turn a blind eye to what seems to be a large stack of complaints against a controller, those people deserve to be ousted. Again, it’s willful negligence and is not only creating a horrible work environment but also further danger of the public and driving divide between the workforce and management.
The controller themselves might be too far gone but the people responsible for said controller SHOULD be held accountable.
Which one? Donald Trump? Or fuck you? Lmao 🤣I remember all the $5 donations with messages of ‘support’ that got hidden. 😂
I’m not even talking about not caring you had a deal but they don’t even seem to care that someone could have diedI definitely think a part of it is the culture with ATSAP.

I couldn't believe it when I came to the FAA. I heard about a guy having the same type of deal twice in one week, prop climbing into air carrier passing by less than 2. One of them responded to an RA. My jaw dropped the next time I saw him on position like nothing happened.
You realize that's corporation's vs people right and transparency and anonymity are not antonymsA lot of you sure like the government and NATCA to be transparent but the moment your anonymity is gone you cry like babies.
Don't nearly kill people then I might give a shit about this dude.
i work with someone who knowingly and willingly shipped radar a deal and said “what they gonna do? Fire me?”I’m not even talking about not caring you had a deal but they don’t even seem to care that someone could have died

Wow I stand correctedNATCA isn't a corporation but sure.
