Given the early hour of the event, I wonder whether the controller was at the very end of an overnight shift or the very start of the day shift. Fatigue anyone?
I've not flown in the US for a while but there ued to be a serious issue with controller fatigue - it featured in a few incidents/accidents - what's the situation nowadays? Does anyone have any up to date info? They were wroking insane hours a few years back
