Whatta laff.
I flew on the day after the strike in 1981 and the supervisors running the ATC positions were better and easier to work with then the regular controllers who were 3 times as many.
They don’t need to shut anything down. This is a union gig, straight up.
Yep, clearly
I've written here several times about the over dramatization of the stress that controllers face and the overstaffing, at least before Reagan, but things were not so great for me at least initially with the replacement controllers. I was vectored for landing in the wrong direction at an unfamiliar field that had been downgraded to Unicom.
