The bodies from the recent crash have barely been buried, but Blue Grass Airport in Lexington, KY has already gone back to its "normal" understaffing.
According to today's Lexington Herald-Leader, the traffic control tower at the airport was getting ready to have a radar unit in Indianapolis take over so that the controllers in Lexington could take a break.
It appears that the FAA normally pays controllers overtime rather than letting them take breaks for meals and refocusing.
One wonders how many crashes it will take before the FAA stops gambling with controller staffing.
