Should Pilots Of The Boeing 757 Not Have Reported Their Flight Level After Ascending?

I. List as many ethical issues as possible

1. Should the pilots of the Boeing 757 not have reported their flight level after ascending?

It is morally wrong. The reason is that if the air controller was not informed of the flight level, he could fail to perceive the potential collision, thus leading to fatal harm to lots of people. In nature, this action lead to potential fatal harm.

2. Should a traffic controller have been on break on a night shift and left his or her colleague "in charge of two navigation stations" (2)?

It is morally wrong. The reason is that the preoccupation of his or her colleague could make the controller unaware of the catastrophic collision and cause many people their lives. In nature, this action lead to potential

Should an air traffic controller have been responsible for multiple navigation stations under any circumstance?

As a layman, this question is really hard to say. I would like to regard this action as morally wrong since chances are that this action may put others' lives in danger. In essence, taking safety into account, this action could be morally wrong.

5. Should the air traffic control system to have inadequate employees on duty on a night shift?

It's morally wrong. In this case, if there were three employees on duty on that night, no one would need to be in charge of multiple navigation stations and they would also have enough break, thus preventing the tragedy from happening to some extent. I think it's morally wrong for the air traffic control system to put inadequate employees on duty.

6. Should the technicians turn the main telephone system down for maintenance without informing the controllers of the condition of the backup telephone system?

It is morally wrong. The telephone systems are indispensable to "communicate with nearby airport" (2). If the controller had no idea that the backup system was down and that the urgent information was blocked, many people may lose their lives. In essence, this action may cause

The failure of the telephone systems would block the communication between the pilots and the controllers, which put many people in hazard. In nature, this inconsiderate and irresponsible action may kill people.

8. Might an air traffic controller have been unaware that the telephone system was down and that the normal communication was blocked when he was on duty?

It is morally wrong. As for a responsible controller, the first thing he should do is to make sure that the telephone system work well. If he realized that the telephone system had no reply for a long time, he should contact the technicians immediately. In nature, an air traffic controller being ignorant of the conditions of the equipment used may put others in danger.

9. Should Swiss Air Traffic Control System have left the short-term conflict alert (STCA) be down?

It is morally wrong. Under urgent circumstances, the STCA could warn the controller of the potential danger and prevent the tragedies. In nature, turning off the device could put other people's life in danger.

10. Should a pilot not obeyed the order of the traffic collision and avoidance system (TCAS) but turned to an air traffic controller for help when the dangerous collision was
