Am I not correct in gathering from various sources that:
The airliner was where it was supposed to be?
The helicopter was on an approved course but approximately 150 feet above the approved ceiling for the route it was flying?
There was only one air traffic controller on duty in a shift that required two?
Those points, if true would seem to be the immediate cause of this heartwrenching disaster.
The FAA also claim they are behind in their hiring by some 3000 personnel. I can understand that. I sure as heck would not want the job.
