ASLEEP ON THE JOB

There have been several reports in the news recently about Air Traffic Controllers falling asleep on the job. This is bad. However, this is what is worse. Having only one controller on the job. Suppose the one person on the job becomes ill? Maybe he dies. Then what? A plane crashes and how many more die? This policy is just plain stupid.
For those who think it isn't stupid I have this question. Would you fly on an airliner with just one pilot? No co-pilot? I think not.
