Twelve years after first reporting serious safety problems at the Dallas-Fort Worth airport, including numerous cover-ups of near collisions and the abuse of prescription narcotics by her fellow air traffic controllers, Anne Whiteman has resigned.
The 25-year FAA veteran told CBS affiliate WFAA-TV (http://www.wfaa.com/video/index.html?nvid=398097)
that she was isolated, demoted, and physically assaulted for filing complaints with the Office of Special Counsel, which confirmed most of her safety concerns, including her accounts of air traffic controllers blaming pilots for their mistakes. She also said her equipment was sabotaged in retaliation.
