Right. And the "time " of that statement was Saturday. and numerous news have reported with different wording (whcih suggests that they are not merely cutting and pasting each other) that the FAA *also* on Sunday (that would be the day after the FAA statement you cite) told the media that she was no longer working for the FAA.

Do you have any evidence, anything at all, that the reports that the FAA had said on Sunday that the controller had been fired was "Made up" ??? The reports are all pretty consistent. Saturday the FAA says she's on leave. Sunday the FAA says that she is no longer an employee, and you *know* that the latter is a fabrication by the media. How exactly do you *know* that is a fabrication?
