What's it take to be an ATC? Can I get my shifty, no good, bum of a nephew a job? Just needs to show up and pee in a cup and look at radars? He plays a lot of video games and can maybe repurpose his screen time to look at blips and boops on radar screen? I think he finally got his bachelors...

Planes are really big and when you sit in them it barely feels like you’re moving, they aren’t going that fast. They have the whole sky up there too. It’s super easy not to crash, you just watch them on the screen and remind them to be careful lol.

and don't forget planes basically fly themselves these days and they're programmed to not run into each other so ATC's are kinda redundant anyway. thank goodness our current regime has both saved us money and made us safer. praise be

And the safety will be even better with AI.

You can just ChatGPT the instructions for what order they should land or takeoff or whatever.

It's supposed to be one of the most stressful jobs there is.  I've only ever interacted with one ATC and it was in Vegas.  He was off duty and gambling at the casino we were staying in.  He was so insane that it made me nervous about flying home.

WE'RE LANDING THIS BITCH, BABY!!!

I think just normal Canadian nonsense. They have issues all the time. 
 

NAVCANADA is the poster child for not privatizing your country's ATC. Incompetent buffoons, but at least polite.

Yea the old “I have nothing to offer but I want everything you have!” negotiation tactic is a classic.

The other issue is that if the ACA subsidies are taken up and even passed as a “clean” standalone measure, DOTARD can just veto it or threaten to veto it, which Johnson/Thune will use as cover.
