    This is cool, but I’m annoyed at how blase this whole comments thread is.

    Even if we were to go another ten years without a crash, the traffic controllers are burning out. That’s not fair to them. That’s not fair to make people work at the edge of their capability, struggling each day to manage to provide people another unappreciated close call.

    The FAA should set requirements on air traffic controllers per flight or day and enforce them. Not enough controllers to fly safely? That’s a real shame that flights have to be cancelled.

    If it affected passengers and CEOs, this issue would be solved much faster.
