SCT DEV CTLR DESCRIBED CONFLICT; NO OPERROR RECORDED; BETWEEN LGB ACR ARR AND SMA; CITING FATIGUE/WORKING CONDITIONS AS CAUSAL FACTORS.

Narrative

THIS WAS A CLASSIC CASE OF FATIGUE. LISTENING TO THE TAPE; AND THEN ANALYZING THE ACTIONS I TOOK; I WAS CONVINCED I HAD ISSUED A 300 FT RESTR TO THE AIRBUS. SINCE MY INSTRUCTOR DID NOT TAKE ANY ACTION; I ASSUMED THAT ALL WAS WELL. I AM FATIGUED AND STRESSED TO THE POINT I CANNOT RECALL ACTIONS FROM MINS AND SOMETIMES SECONDS BEFORE. WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNINGS; I DO NOT REMEMBER MOST OF THE PREVIOUS DAY'S EVENTS; LIKE WHAT MY WIFE AND I PLANNED FOR DINNER; APPOINTMENTS; ETC. IN THIS CASE; I ISSUED A VECTOR TO THE C421 WHICH CROSSED PATHS WITH THE A320. I ISSUED THE LGB APCH CLRNC TO THE A320 WITH A 1600 FT MSL RESTR (A DIRECT CONFLICT); AND THEN GOT VISUAL SEPARATION FROM THE C421. THIS WAS A REVERSED SEQUENCE OF HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. SINCE I WAS RECEIVING INSTRUCTION; I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I WAS NOT OVERRIDDEN WHEN THE CONFLICT WAS APPARENT. MY INSTRUCTOR LATER APOLOGIZED FOR NOT TAKING ACTION. THE A320 STOPPED DSNDING DUE TO THE FA; AND I REALIZED TOO LATE MY ERROR. THE PREVIOUS DAY; MY PRIMARY INSTRUCTOR HAD DISCUSSED WHY 1600 FT IS A BAD ALT FOR THE E ARRS. THIS WAS THE SECOND NMAC FOR ME IN TRAINING THIS WK; AND THE FOURTH THAT I KNOW OF IN THE USA THIS WEEK. WHEN IS SOMEONE GOING TO REALIZE THAT WE ARE BEGINNING TO WEAR DOWN AND MAKE MORE ERRORS? SOMEBODY IS GOING TO BE KILLED; BUT NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. MORALE IS IN THE TOILET AND LIVES ARE ON THE LINE; YET THE FAA JUST KEEPS DESTROYING THE RANKS. WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE TO DIE TO GET ANYTHING DONE? IN THE MEANTIME; WE ARE PAINTED AS DISGRUNTLED. I DISAGREE; WE ARE DOING THE SAME WORK AS BEFORE; JUST WITHOUT ANY REAL REST OR RELAXATION. I HAVE HAD 6-DAY WKS FOR THE PAST 6 MONTHS WITH A FEW EXCEPTIONS. MOST OF MY COLLEAGUES ARE IN THE SAME BOAT. I AM GOING TO BREAK DOWN SOON AND LOSE MY CAREER AND RETIREMENT BECAUSE OF THIS SITUATIONUATION. YESTERDAY; I WANTED TO QUIT AND I JUST PASSED 20 YRS OF GOV SVC.
