Description: There was a similar outage last week that prompted some air traffic controllers to take a leave of absence to recover from the stress of the incident. It’s unclear if controllers involved in Friday morning's outage will be eligible for what’s known as “trauma leave” and could worsen an already existing shortage of air traffic controllers.
