So you're saying that ATC controllers who have been on the job for a
long time are more expensive than new-hires, and understaffing ATC
facilities will drive out the old hands?


That should be obvious even to you.


How does under staffing motivate (expensive) old hands to retire?

Are they less able to cope with the stress of long hours and high
traffic rates?

Or does their experience permit them to deal with the stresses with
perspicacity?

That is not so obvious?
