Controllers Fight in DCA Tower

[FightingIrish2012]

I agree. But from what I heard this was a lot worse than the usual controller shit talking. Not excusing it, but I can understand.

Did he use a racial epithet?

I mean, you have to be an adult and not hit people at work too. If a controller punched someone out every time they got shit talked, there’d be none of us left.

Technically there would be one left....and it would be me because I'm the strongest person to ever talk to airplanes. I'm definitely not over weight and pre-diabetic....

Not that I know of.

Controller Facing Assault Charge

Charges have now been laid in the alleged fistfight in the DCA tower last Thursday.

www.avweb.com

This article says it had something to do with watching the bodies being pulled from the crash. I also heard that the person who was charged was a SUP.

LOL...and this article says the FAA's solution to everything is adding 2 more SUPs to the operation. Despite everything, the FAA are still a bunch of dumb shits.

Per the name in the news articles, the guy charged is a member and BUE.

That’s one way to get fired

Yes, verbal & mental abuse is totally okay in our profession... Be an adult and keep your mouth shut as well. Physical altercation is where we draw the line? 😆

You don't know who you're talking shit about or to while at work, especially when half the controllers are a generation who grew up brawling. Controllers are a bunch of bitches when it comes to talking to or about others. It's pathetic.

Solidarity my ass. LOL

The drunken brawlers used to be true. I'd say thats less than half now. More than half now days grew up in the burbs playing video games and perfer energy drinks over alcohol. Controllers are a wide mix now days. Not all crazies like back in the day lol.

Just been in the agency forever and seen multiple things like this and worse happen and the results that followed.

Which is worse, fist fight in the tower, or fist fight in the cockpit?

Does it matter? Who doesn’t love a giving a good fisting? 🤜

 

[Raise when?]

FAA needs a mutual combatant MOU. Air traffic controllers are getting softer by the day. Pressing charges bc you lost? F'ing sissy!

Person X talks shit. Person Y challenges to a fight; X accepts. Y wins - cash award of $1000 to be awarded to the victor. No negative legal or administrative repercussions follow.

 

[SquawkHijack]

Next contract needs to get a mutual combat clause.
