Adding to the long string of pointers at weak and incompetent senior management at the FAA, comes the story this week that they have finally fessed up to being an organization that cannot study itself.
They fired someone who warned them they were screwing up. After lotsa money on an investigation, they admit it; but, of course, no one in management is responsible.
Here's a good blog by a former traffic controller and career safety guy, Get the Flick.
What's he saying now? The FAA has no backup. Nothing. And it is 2009. Here's my snark. Even if they had a backup, it wouldn't be plugged in. (That's a reference to the post 9/11 equipment that they ordered, was sitting there, but wasn't connected/in-use).
