Naw. There's no need to train new ATC personnel for the future. The
resulting shortage of ATC staffing will be used as justification to
enable Boeing to take over ATC operations (can you say 'user fees').
Then US ATC will be based entirely on satellite communications.
Shortly after the next inevitable solar storm, all the airline flights
