[quote=Anonymous]As awful as all this seems, I am reassured that Duffy told him to eff off. ATC are a rare breed, which it why it is hard to hire. You can train them, but you need a certain balance of natural skills which is why the high wash-out rate (not 'DEI hires', but you need to kiss a lot of frogs to find some good ATC so you bring a lot in. White dudes wash out a lot, too). The real factor is when the pilots refuse to fly. US airline pilots, while under the same corporate pressures as everyone else, have very broad latitude to refuse to fly if they think it's unsafe. (same goes for most European pilots -- other parts of the world it can be more questionable). [/quote]
