1. For those of us at work unable to watch videos... is this "do not fly AT ALL?" or just in some routes?

2. Newark.

I hate these videos with click bait headlines and then drone on and on.

Just get to the fucking point!

3. It takes a special type of mind to be a good Air Traffic Controller

I used to play a game called "Star Fleet Battles." I was feared enough to where other players would get together and gang up in hopes they could beat me. I was pretty much feared by a large group of local gamers. I knew the rules inside and out and I was able to manage multiple ships efficiently.

Then I got to play with a few Air Traffic Controllers from a military base. They walked all over me. They enjoyed playing with me, I don't think they typically got as much of a challenge as I provided, but I was seriously not in their league. A good Air Traffic Controller is capable of maintaining complex combinations of data in their head while new data keeps piling in. They can visualize and keep track of information coming in real time.

They deserve the pay, they need and deserve the time out, and if they feel like they need to retire early, they should have the benefits to do so. I can assure you they are smarter that the people who manage them.

5. So just how high are the odds of a plane crashing

these days? If no one flies at all, I suppose all flights will be cancelled, so then there won't be any crashes at all.

But I want to ask just how many planes have crashed lately? Oh, and I mean specifically commercial planes. So, how many? A hundred? A dozen? Oh, that's right. Exactly one since 2009. Oh, dear lord, how unsafe!

6. The last point is government is run by people who don't believe in government. Aviation safety is the first casualty.
