U.S.: Stupid parent suspended for letting stupid kid direct air traffic

  • The sound of a pending pink slip “World’s Greatest Dad” may have seemed like the proper title for the father of this kid who directed traffic at JFK Airport one day, but instead it’s “World’s Biggest Idiot.” An airport supervisor and an air traffic controller (i.e. the boss and his idiot worker) were suspended as a result of this incident, which managed to take away from the luster of Sully’s pending retirement.
