FAA Adds Overnight Staffing

The FAA adds overnight staffing to airport control towers. The move follows a spike in reports of sleeping controllers. The latest incident involved an ambulance flight whose pilot couldn't obtain landing permission at a Nevada airport. Now, overnight operations will be staffed by two controllers, not one. The FAA also suspends four air traffic controllers for dozing off in front of their screens. Administrator Randy Babbit said the agency will review the professionalism of its 15,000 controllers.
