This should be a serious reminder to all ATC management of the responsibility of controllers and the job they do.
Yes this accident happened at night and complacency may have been a factor,as we know can happen when sectors are quiet.
However, management should now be very cautious on pushing flow rates up and providing very little contingency for when it does go wrong. The number of current overloads at LACC shows the position that people are being put into.
Sectors should never be working above 90% capacity to allow for unusual events, bunching or over delivery of traffic.
I hope it doesn't take something similar in the UK for management to take note!
And they think we are overpaid????
