I came across this article from Foxnews.com reporting that a whistleblower who works at the Westchester Country Airport (New York City Metro Area) has come forward with revelations that involve controllers napping in the tower, using their cell phones and other violations based on FAA policies for Air Traffic Controllers.
The FAA has extremely rigid rules and regulations as to what is acceptable Controller behavior in an Airport Tower and this black eye is not going to do any favors for the Airport or the FAA. The airport in it’s defense has suggested that it has special FAA approval due to a broken elevator that allows Controllers to take breaks in the tower. This comment made me chuckle a bit. I wonder if the stairs are broken as well. The whistleblower indicated that these behaviors have been in place for years. I’ll let the FoxNews piece tell the rest of the story.
Unfortunately I don’t think we’ve heard the end of this one.

A BIG H/T to Techguru on MilePoint for this one.
Trapcall is a subscription based service for mobile phones that unmasks blocked caller ID. One of my peeves is the anonymous caller ID and it looks like this will eliminate it. One of the features of trapcall is that you can blacklist unblocked phone numbers which really will help reduce the amount of times I pick up the phone just to hear a sales pitch.
There are 3 levels of service, and pricing varies accordingly. You can learn more at www.trapcall.com
By the time you read this, I will be a new subscriber!
