At least 0bama's Affirmative Action push at the FAA should put a stop to this. /s

TOO SERIOUS TO TREAT FUNNY.
DEATH BY CRASH IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE/LIKELY AND AIR FLIGHT CONTRILLERS ARE IN CHARGE OF THE FLIGHT TAKE OFFS AND LANDINGS.
IMPORTANT TO BE WIDE AWAKE AND ALERT, AND SMART!

We have a WINNER here!
I have flown a couple of weeks ago to understand the NEED to be safe at all times, both in the PLANE and in the AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL TOWER

If the pilot screws up, the pilot dies. If the air traffic controller screws up, the pilot dies. That is why there is an escape clause in FAA regs that basically says that the pilot can overrule ATC if he believes ATC directions to be unsafe. Granted, the pilot will likely have to appear before an FAA review board. Better that than dying. I say “likely” because if the controller issued an obviously flawed order (personal experience), the FAA will drop the case and sweep it under the rug.

did I hear that the usual standards to become an air traffic controller have been eliminated by the current regime?
