A controller at JFK brought his child to work and let the child talk on the radio and give clearances. The media somehow got a hold of this and now he and the supervisor are suspended.
The child had rehearsed this stuff with the dad and sounded very professional and the pilots loved it. The FAA has taken their usual stick in the mud approach to this.
This child will remember the negative aspects of this and probably will not seek a job as a controller later in life. Way to go FAA! Once again you have discouraged our youth from participating in aviation.
I remember as a child being in the cockpit of a TWA 707 with my father more than once. I was hooked. We have lost site of what is truly important.
