Air Traffic Controllers' Union Proposes Scheduled As A Solution To Recent Issues
For Discussion: Should Air Traffic Controllers Have Naps Scheduled Into Their Shift?
The air traffic controllers’ union thinks they figured out how to solve the issue of controllers falling asleep on the job. And their proposed solution is to… have air traffic controllers sleep on the job?
The union representing air-traffic controllers says it will continue to press for carefully controlled naps and other measures to reduce fatigue, despite the insistence by transportation officials that such measures will not be allowed.
The union will continue to push for enactment of 12 recommendations to reduce fatigue that it came up with jointly with the FAA. They include monitored naps, better training on how to reduce fatigue and medical testing to ensure that controllers don’t suffer from sleep disorders.
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood has said that he will not tolerate controllers sleeping.
