An air traffic control supervisor has been suspended for the second time in one week -- this time for actions that caused a commercial jet and a private plane to get too close together in central Florida.

The Federal Aviation Administration is saying a Southwest Airlines jet carrying 142 people and a single-engine plane with two people came too close together on Sunday night at the request of the supervisor, putting both planes in danger.
