What Do You Think?


By now you've probably already heard the story about the air traffic controller at JFK who let his son and daughter make the announcement to clear a couple of planes for take off.  I must say, I am a little surprised by the harsh reaction.


Now, I am a big fan of "The Rules".  We have rules for a reason, and if rules are broken then there should be consequences.  But WOW, some people are freaking out like this dude took a nap while his toddlers coordinated airplane traffic above New York City.  The air traffic controller was right there - in control of the situation.  And the planes weren't in the air - they were in that long-ass line on the runway waiting to take off.


What do you think?  Should the guy be fired?  Should he be disciplined?
