Epicurus (341β270 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher who founded Epicureanism, emphasizing the pursuit of a tranquil, happy life through ataraxia (freedom from fear) and aponia (absence of pain). His teachings combined atomism, ethics, and naturalistic theology, advocating simple living, friendship, and the rejection of superstition.

info_outlineπ¨ Air traffic controllers face severe fatigue due to the 2-2-1 shift system, causing sleep loss, cognitive impairment & safety risks. π FAA & NATCA now plan to replace it with a safer schedule to enhance aviation safety. βοΈ #Fatigue #AviationSafety #ATC
The 2-2-1 shift system in air traffic control (ATC) compresses five shifts into four days, leading to severe fatigue due to counterclockwise rotation and insufficient rest periods.
The FAAβs 2024 study found that this schedule causes sleep deprivation, cognitive impairment, and increased safety risks, with 77% of controllers unintentionally falling asleep on duty and 36% falling asleep while driving home.
The FAA and NATCA have now agreed to replace this system with a new schedule that prioritizes fatigue management and aviation safety through improved rest periods and scheduling practices.
