Your Life as Every Level of an Air Traffic Controller

Video Description

From staring at airspace diagrams in Oklahoma City wondering if you'll wash out to running a TRACON facility responsible for the airspace of an entire metropolitan area. Most don't make it past the academy. Some never certify. The ones who do spend their careers separated from the rest of the world by a radar scope and four seconds to think. In this video we break down what each level of an air traffic controller actually costs — the simulator failures, the supervised transmissions with a shaking hand, the midnight shifts, the colleagues who burned out quietly, the retirement wave nobody solved, and the weight of 2,000 aircraft operations a day that nobody outside the building ever hears about.
