Veteran air traffic controller lays out what is wrong with Newark airport: ‘Minimum staffing affects everything’

Retired air traffic controller Harvey Scolnick : "There’s not enough 365-days-a-year qualified controllers" Equipment, equipment and infrastructure are old, he says.

"In my 38-year career I lost both — ONCE — at same time. I was working at Kennedy . Our room went totally dark. Lights, radar scopes, technicians, plates, frequencies, all frequencies, everything stopped".
