I am going to lose my shit if they try to pin LaGuardia on the air traffic controller.

They chose to under staff the tower. They chose to not have transponders on the trucks. They chose to have antiquated radio systems that only allow one conversation at once, and allow others to "step on" each other.

They maximize cost savings and then fail to develop systems that account for the inevitability of human error.

The unholy audacity to operate LaGuardia with only TWO controllers.

That is the number I expect for a corn field runway. Not some effing major city airport.
