Subject: Re: Potomac crash - VAS Aviation
That's some of the most congested airspace in the country; I have no idea why they let helicopters fly up the Potomac straight across the glidepath of active runways. There's traffic literally turning in right there...that seems insane to me.

Dope, a quick question for you, since you seem far more informed about this particular topic than I am:

OPM has offered every federal employee a buy-out if they resign, effective February 8th. They expect a take rate of between 5-10%.

Could our air traffic control system function properly if 10% of air traffic controllers quit their jobs in the next week?
