Oh gods, now I have a vision in my head of Elon convincing Trump that he should fire all the ATCs and replace them with an LLM.

When I was a trainee controller in 2009, my boss was absolutely convinced that we were all in danger of being automated out of existence in relatively short order. My fear was, and remains, that just what you’re suggesting is more likely. The automation doesn’t work, but it gets used anyway.

Thank you! Back when you could listen to ATC traffic on United, I figured out quickly I wouldn’t last 15 minutes in that job. The controller at SFO doing takeoffs and landings, *and* a GA flight. Being on the first plane to go around when the wind reversed at ORD. And they just calmly handle it all.
