Well, I'm also not stating that I know for a fact that this woman is telling the truth, but honestly, her accusations are really disturbing on a variety of levels. She presents her numerous claims of unsafe flight management and physical intimidation, some of which actually have been verified by the FAA, (although no action has been taken by them) and still shows up at her job every day at her own risk. Now she's been on national television, yet she still plans to stay at her job. That doesn't sound to me like a typical disgruntled ex-employee.

Again, I'm not saying whether or not this woman story is true, but as a regular traveler through DFW, I would like some verification of this woman's claims. And I don't think it's unreasonable of me to ask this.

I'm not stating that I know for a fact that this woman is not telling the truth. What I am saying is that I no longer get my undies in a bunch about anything I see on TV or read in the paper, as it is of such questionable veracity. "Air traffic safe" doesn't attract many viewers, so we see "Air traffic dangerous". Air traffic may be safe, may be dangerous, but whatever the case, we will see "Air traffic dangerous".
