@thomasfuchs some context from an ATC. Hiring 2000+ people per year is only a record because the previous hiring limit was 1200-1500 per year that barely or frequently did not keep up with attrition. After COVID shut down the training pipeline for a year and a half we’re now significantly behind on numbers. Regardless, those 2000+ will now winnow down over the course of training and we will probably end up with roughly 50% of those as fully certified ATCs… in about 3 years
