Easy now big fella... From THIS controller's perspective it isn't safe and, agreed, it doesn't get much worse. However, to say ""...absolutely the worst scenario you can think of" is nonsense. I CAN think of worse, and being a little superstitious I hesitate to engage in that sort hyperbole.
I spent a number of years as a NATCA rep and I fully support the union. This kind of talk irritates me mostly because I think it undermines NATCA's message. It tends to make the union message look as overstated as the FAA's message.
I'm still not stating this as elegantly as I'd like, but trust me, your irritation with me is misplaced.
