    I know how we can fix this. Let’s gut the FAA even more and ban unions so the workers have even less reason to stay in a high stress job. /s

      Added on to this is how ATC is immediately blamed. From my understanding of the crash earlier this year ATC had received all-clears but the helicopter had visual on the wrong jet. Imagine doing your job to the best of your ability and still being blamed for something outside of your control.

        That entire situation… anyone with a shred of brainpower put the blame on the helicopter. They have a lot more accurate equipment in their direct control compared to a commercial airliner or ATC. Not to mention they are much more maneuverable.
