I'm an air traffic controller at a core 30 airport and I firmly believe that many but not all of the issues we face can be fixed by increasing compensation. Namely mandatory 6 day work weeks, high attrition, and burnout.

Maybe occasional free pizza, casual Friday's, and an employee of the month plaque would help?

I know your comment is a joke, but we already have that more-or-less.

I'm getting close to doxxing myself, so without getting into specifics... controllers often bring in food to share, and we dress pretty casually every day. There used to be a professional dress code years ago, but that was negotiated out by the union.


So bring back a uniform so your Union can negotiate jeans-friday?
