"A new work-study job
Rather than spend an additional $160,000 per year for a second controller at Sacramento International Airport, which has only six scheduled arrivals or departures between midnight and 6 a.m., how about a lower cost alternative?
We hire California State University students struggling to make tuition at say $15 per hour ($33,000 per year) and put them in the tower.
They are free to study but if they hear the radio squawk and the controller fails to respond, they zap 'em with an FAA-supplied cattle prod.
Safety is enhanced, and a struggling student gets help to complete their studies. Don't you love a win-win?
