the really good controllers were let go in 1981..

those that replaced them have done an excellent job of putting up with the
FAA bureaucracy.. and now that they have their pension qualifications in
hand.. they too are leaving..

and the hire rate cannot cover the retire rate..

I got a good friend who works for the FAA at a major airport.
He told me the experienced controllers and technicians are retiring and
leaving by the dozens and the only thing they are hiring are black females
and people who are basically unqualified and stupid. Now that's scary. I
never thought the FAA would be a victim of social engineering.
They are in the safety business!!

I have noticed flying around that more stuff on the ground is broke and
radios sound like crap
