Ashley Nunes

Ashley Nunes is a senior research associate at Harvard Law School. Disturbing that the author describes near-misses in the skies as being on the rise. Some two months before an incident involving Delta and Spirit flights in Fort Lauderdale, there was a similar error causing two jets to come within 200 feet of one another in Miami. Three weeks later, an air traffic controller cleared a FedEx plane to land on the same runway as a departing Southwest jet at Texas airport. And three weeks before that, two jetliners near collided at New York➓s Kennedy airport. The author argues that these incidents are due to fatigue among air traffic controllers caused by shortages of personnel. The solution proposed is to beef up the ranks of controllers so there will be more mental muscle available for error prevention and detection.
