This seems like it is directly out of the Regan/republican play book. Bust the union at all costs regardless of the consequences. Had there been an accident in 1981, Regans legacy would have been quite different.
Yes, I will correct you, because you are wrong. In fact you already know it--there were no accidents in 1981. The alternate ATC were competent--they got the job done. That you fail to see the difference is not surprising.
Competency---its a good thing.
