FAA Investigates Controllers After LaGuardia Crash | Toronto News
Description
FAA eyes firing two air traffic controllers after deadly Air Canada crash at LaGuardia — where a fire truck crossed an active runway moments before landing, killing two pilots. Investigators point to staffing shortages and “early shoves” — an informal practice letting controllers leave early while still getting paid — as potential red flags. The FAA calls it timecard fraud and is launching a full review, while union reps negotiate with officials. The crash probe continues, but early findings highlight communication breakdowns as a key factor.
