Wake up ATC. Turn off the TV. The eyes of the media are on you again.
It is the air traffic control’s responsibility to watch the distance between planes. That includes the one Michelle Obama was on. Not that she was in any danger.
Please note that the reportage below is somewhat exaggerated but these planes should be 5 miles apart. Let’s do avoid the wake turbulence, shall we?
Now, if you’re really interested, you can leave our site and go check out the CBS Recording of Michelle Obama’s plane being diverted which CBS so uncharitably does not allow to be embedded. If you listen to this recording, and you should even though you will have to sit through whatever advertising they put at the start of it, do take note of the calm, matter of fact manner of both the pilot and the air traffic controller.

Is the so-called upcoming pilot shortage a scare tactic?
Several factors will be contributing to an upcoming pilot shortage:
- In the summer of 2013, newly hired pilots will be required to have 1,500 hours of prior flight experience—six times the current minimum
- Upcoming (2014) Federal Safety Rule fatigue laws decrease flight time
- Senior pilots hitting mandatory retirement at 65
- Tight airline budgets, costs cut
So the question is is the so-called upcoming pilot shortage a trumped-up scare tactic by the airlines to get themselves wiggle room in the face of regulations they’ve had years to prepare to comply with?
