How sad is that?
The FAA said Thursday that staffing in the tower at DCA was "not normal". There was one controller operating in the tower, when normally two are required. They are allowed to operate with one, but it adds to their stress, and increases the chances of mistakes being made. Normally, one controller in the tower is handling helicopters flying in the area, and the second controller handles clearances for fixed wing aircraft. Instead they had one controller handling both types.
Logic is dead. Long live BS.
