FAA's Answer to ATC Retirement Bubble Staffing Shortfall

wrote in . net: "Larry Dighera" wrote in message news  True. Presumably the goal was to reduce costs. It still is. But first you have to drive out the high-priced controllers. 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?

FAA's Answer to ATC Retirement Bubble Staffing Shortfall

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?

Are they less able to cope with the stress of long hours and high traffic rates? More able. Or does their experience permit them to deal with the stresses with perspicacity? Gesundheit. That is not so obvious? It should have been.
