It's a pretty sad state of affairs when someone can say with a straight face "Nobody out here" (sic) taking their job seriously and giving it the care and attention it rightly deserves.

What constitutes "fully AI-generated" when you're in an edit loop between an agent and a human?

I've heard people say this but it really only makes sense if you don't think about it for more than 10 or 20 seconds. Prediction markets by definition always resolve to one side being completely wiped out and losing everything. St

Almost every night there are 6-7 hours with zero or near-zero scheduled departures and very few scheduled arrivals. The controller shortage has nothing to do with pay, controllers make a lot of money.

400 flights a day is 16-17 per hour and those are going to be mostly during the day. As someone else points out there is a ~6 hour stretch overnight with no scheduled departures . That's somewhat common even at large hubs. I don'

Every accident is an example of multiple things going wrong at the same time.[0] I'm going to pretend to know exactly what would happen in that precise scenario but I'm confident most commercial pilots get enough training to be ab

I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The GP is literally about a lone controller in the tower having a medical episode and what would happen after that.

by pc86 7mo ago
You should try harder, because I'm not making any comment on regulation whatsoever. There are procedures that every controller and pilot knows for how to handle loss of radio contact.

It is possible for ATC to be understaffed as a profession, LGA to be understaffed as an airport, individual controllers to be overworked, and for it to be 100% reasonable to have a single controller at LGA in the middle of the night.

by pc86 7mo ago
"Staffing shortage" doesn't mean "you can fit more people in the tower." You can't think of any scenario having one controller makes sense?

Which is a completely reasonable amount of traffic for one controller to handle. This wasn't the controller's fault. The firetruck received a clearance, had that clearance revoked, and either didn't hear the revocation or ign

"Funny" enough if this controller had had a medical emergency (or just bad sushi) and been off the radios, this wouldn't have happened because the fire truck would not have received clearance to cross the runway and wouldn&

You're 100% right, a "Trump-friendly" administrator has been "installed" so we can't trust the FAA's conclusions. The last guy quit so this guy is definitely going to lie.

Planes landing at a rate of one every 30-40 minutes isn't exactly "overworked."

by pc86 7mo ago
> the controller in question was working both ground and air control simultaneously due to staffing shortages How many planes land at LGA in the middle the night? One controller overnight is completely reasonable.

Yes, it's complicated. There's almost 1,000 generals and officers spread across the US military. They (and the tens of thousands of people directly supporting them) spend a lot of time on these things. Sometimes "draw the res

I don't know the economic numbers off the top of my head but I have to imagine it's hard to find Israelis who think they're spending too much money on rocket interceptors.

What Iranian drone did a trillion dollars in damages? I'm not saying the general thrust of your argument is wrong, quite the opposite. But that's a big number for one drone.
