the biggest lesson here is don’t punch someone married to a lawyer no matter how much they deserve it.

Lawyers take away the fun.

This is nuts. Imagine if the lone DCA controller working the tower was attacked. I wonder if mandated 6 day work weeks causing workers being around someone you can't stand for days on end and flared tempers due sleep deprivation and fatigue played a role. Just speculation, but a crazy world indeed.

I seen this on ACN first of course and just went meh . You wouldn’t believe how much physical and verbal violence happens at different companies that doesn’t make the news.

Ah yes, the FAA, whose Aeromedical division has a long history of progressive and collaborative ideas about mental health. And more managers!

I’m sure this will solve the problem with stress.
