Air traffic controllers at Newark Airport are speaking out after scary equipment failures put lives at risk. These patriots watched their radar screens go black mid-shift, leaving pilots flying blind. Now they’re forced to take trauma leave while Washington bureaucrats fail to fix broken systems.
United Airlines CEO Scott Kirby blasted controllers for “walking off the job” during this crisis. His corporate talking points ignore the truth – these dedicated workers didn’t abandon their posts. They were medically ordered off duty after near-disasters caused severe stress.
A veteran controller shot back: “Suggesting we’d fake trauma insults every blue-collar worker keeping America moving.” These aren’t snowflakes – they’re professionals who’ve handled 9/11 emergencies and plane crashes. When equipment dies mid-flight, even tough guys reach breaking point.
