Opposing Bases: Air Traffic Talk
Leisure:Aviation
Episode 286 Show Notes
Topic of the show: If we had $1 for every time someone asked if our job was stressful, we’d be billionaires. On this week’s show, we will discuss the elements of this profession that can lead to stress and medical issues along with the impact the schedule has on our personal lives outside of work. This episode topic was brought to us by a long-time show supporter, Bravo Sierra. Thank you for giving us the idea to discuss this topic and hopefully dispel some aspects of the myths surrounding air traffic controllers.
