JFK Airport Employee Gives New Meaning to Take Your Child to Work Day

An air traffic controller at Kennedy Airport was suspended for bringing his two elementary school-aged children to work and letting them give instructions to pilots.

Bringing your child to work is a great idea, but obviously common sense needs to prevail. I don’t want to see my doctor’s kid in the examination room or a child sitting on his dad’s lap while he’s driving an 18-wheeler alongside me on a highway. And a kid in the air traffic control tower? Please, I have enough anxiety flying when the adults are the ones calling the shots.
