Dealing with a single airport and sorrounding airspace is chopstick enough to allow us to make 6 figures pretty easily, but enough to create one of the highest suicide rates per employee lol. I love this career field and it's really cool to see the planes take off and land. Especially because by law they have to listen to you. The coolest footage of this however is the 9/11/2001 footage of all the aircraft above the US being grounded in a matter of hours. Without a single issue, collision, or wreck.

Have you ever watched the video of the AAL plane landing in JFK that basically said "give us this runway or we're going to declare an emergency and land on it anyways."
