Can I land now, I am tired....the caption of an airline communicates into the darkness while the sound of his radio falls on deaf ears or sweet dreams. Can you believe it! Supervisor to staff Controller: “ Didn't’ you hear the pilot of that aircraft calling asking to land? No, sir I was catching a few Z’s while in the lull of landing planes.” Supervisor: “ Well you are in trouble Mr. I want you to go home and think about what you have done. You’ve endangered the lives of innocent passengers in the air and on the ground. You are suspended with full pay and benefits and if you are found to be negligent by the FAA you’ll probably get fired with full benefits, severance and a retirement pension. What every happens to you deserve it for what you did. BTW don’t blame me if my recommendation to your next flight controllers job is rejected?” Controller: “But sir it isn’t my fault I have have two and sometimes three jobs I can’t give a 100% to all of them. I like this job because it does offer me some quiet time where I can catch up on my rest. Please put in a good word for me. I mean it’s not like a plane crashed for something.”
