     The changes come a week after a supervisor in the tower was arrested & accused of punching another controller in the face over a minor dispute about work, & they follow efforts by the #FAA to reduce #stress among staff still grappling with January’s catastrophic midair collision of a passenger plane & a military helicopter.
