They ran an ad campaign and everything which would have been fine if the current administration didn’t spend their time pissing on existing ATC controllers and withholding their paychecks with government shutdowns.
Why not hire back all those qualified women and brown people they fired. ?
You answered your own question
“Tower, we’re losing altitude rapidly.”
“Skill issue.”
Fingers crossed these folks are getting real training.
I’m hoping the dearth of good ATC on VATSIM is because the good folks who volunteer to do ATC with morons are getting paid for it now. They’re actually quite good at the job.
Me too. Especially because the personnel selection for air traffic controller is pretty tight under normal circumstances. You not only have to demonstrate aptitude during training but also social and communication skills, which are super important for this job. I somehow doubt that filling the ranks with gamers is going to accomplish that.
What could go wrong?
Do a barrel roll!
