Air traffic controllers from New York are being accused of gambling, taking naps and watching movies while on duty. Â These are people that are supposed to be controlling the air space in the Tri-state area, instead they just go to work to chill. Â Check out what else these air traffic controllers were doing!
Allegations of widespread misconduct by air-traffic controllers in the Ronkonkoma, New York air tower have come out in a Federal Aviation Administration investigation.
Staff allegedly took naps on blow up mattresses, gambled on the internet and watched movies while on shift, according to reports released this week by the U.S. Office of Special Counsel, an agency formed to help and protect whistle-blowers inside federal agencies.
Controllers reportedly showed a lack of respect for their superiors and the rules, swearing at managers and refusing to train new employees. Supervisors who did try to enforce the rules were threatened or had their property vandalised.
