Is there any astrological relationship between the air traffic controllers strike (over work conditions) and subsequent firing by President Reagan and the current events where we see so many air traffic controllers reacting to shifts/sleepiness?

| 1. Ask Rick if there is a relationship. |

I was wondering the same thing.
And why aren't more people pointing out that what Reagan did was disastrous then and still is disastrous?
The conservatives like to point to this as a great victory for Reagan. Instead, it was a great loss for our country.
