AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS are SLEEP DEPRIVED and FATIGUED in America

Are AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS sleep-deprived and unsafe? 


The FAA still puts AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS on ROTATING SHIFTS and MANDATORY OVERTIME:


We just learned that FEDERAL AIR MARSHALS are armed, suicidal, medicated, and sleep deprived employees who may be a threat to our safety.  What about AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS?  For years I remember being tired after working a typical work week shift schedule like this:

DAY 1  --  3PM to 11PM
DAY 2  --  2PM to 10PM
DAY 3  --  7AM to 3PM
DAY 4  --  6AM to 2PM
DAY 5  --  (later that same DAY 4 back to work night shift) 10PM to 6AM

Also there are now MANDATORY OVERTIME 6 DAY WEEKS due to short staffing problems at facilities like Chicago TRACON and others.  So you have to work MANDATORY SCHEDULED OVERTIME these days.  

Do you feel safe anymore?

It took a while to get this study out in the news.  I remember they were studying us back in the 1990's.  The wheels of government turn slowly don't they?
