I hope they get their acts together soon, or there will be a few hundred dead bodies all over the ground,then
all the reactive talking heads will be on every talk show imagineable for weeks. And the lawyers will swoon like vultures

Brown said the FAA was making the runway changes "to add an extra margin of safety."

Sounds like after a decade of forcing controllers to do it dangerously, the FAA is "installing" a margin of safety, not adding.

If it was so safe to begin with and after the first incident last week, why change anything??

Because they're in the middle of a worsening labor situation with NATCA nationally, and in NYC particularly.

NATCA will be doing more and more negotiating thru Sn ooz e day as this goes on.

Strange comment since these procedures have been in place for over a decade over NATCA's objections right from the start. The Labor dispute is only since 2006.
