The point is though that you shouldn't have to. When you look at the fees being paid for a ATC service they can at least staff it properly, and that includes some sort of standby system.
Oh don't get me me wrong you are 100% correct. The system Is broken. But I don't for a second blame the individual controller's for that. They are just dealing with the giant turd sandwich that they have been handed.
