Child directs airplanes from JFK air traffic control tower - FAA not amused {Gadling}

Mar 3rd 2010 4:00PM I love Babbitt's comment that this doesn't represent the quality of our work: that would be why there's an FAA maintenance inspector in the Southern region that thinks a 1954 Harvard Mk IV has a jet engine on it; maybe his kid knows better.

The FAA is SO worried about safety, what could have happened here... but yet NOTHING has been done for how many decades on crew fatigue and duty time? It took how many years to get the Whitlow interpretation that at least gets us, kinda, 8 hours rest in any 24 (assuming the hotel van is running, since "travel of a local nature" doesn't count as duty).

What happend to Colgan's POI, the one that blew the whistle and was relieved of his position, before the BUF accident?
