@MeidasTouch As someone who is training these “best and brightest”, I can tell you that they aren’t up to the task. They don’t want to study and learn. Laziest people I’ve ever met.
@SecDuffy These kids they’re sending us are terrible. They don’t want to study, work, etc They want everything given to them. We have 20+ trainees right now and I can already tell that maybe 3 will certify in about 3-5 years…
@walkdmc2017@SecDuffy It amazes me you think controllers should be working planes when they are not 100%. Would you want your plane being worked by a controller who didn’t sleep well? Or had their father’s terminal illness on their mind? It’s there for a reason, address the underlying issue. Staffing
@magameemaw62@sabers_m@SecDuffy@FAANews We have more trainees than certified controllers at my facility. And let me tell you that they are hiring the laziest people they can find. 20+ trainees and I am willing to bet that maybe 3 will certify. Ask me how many experienced controllers are retiring in the next few years…
