Entering the school is a bit annoying but you don’t need anything else besides having a brain and resisting stress. Not knowing if you will succeed is stressful but that goes for any school, and this one is paying you to attend it, not the other way around.

The workload is easy, I’m at the EU airways crossroads and working ATC is easy, I feel like I’m always on days off and I work less than 5h a day. Honestly it’s one of the best career you can do besides being rich and not working.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been doing that for more than a decade so it’s natural now.

And mostly, Europe isn’t FAA, I can’t tell for them but from what I’ve read it’s a shit show over there.

Seems better yes, in EASA airspace ATC is around 100k when starting your career and 220k near retirement.

I bet FAA is within those numbers.

Ironic that a non American metric shit ton of those AI posts are made by foreigners living in Muslim countries (or not). They do that because hate brings views and views bring money.

So the old Bob and Sarah are sharing AI slop made by an Indi or Muslim dude on another continent that they’re unable to place on a map.

Oh I knew that, I’ve seen it before getting to the age of 43 kiddo :)

I just never saw the French attitude because I was French (still is), hence the “merde”.

My name isn’t from that cartoon (Pépé le putois) but from a certain plant… I was a teenager when I choose it. Now that I’m an irresponsible adult I tell people that it’s Skunk the animal and I use cute skunks as profile pictures.

But that’s a lie, let it be our little secret 🤫

Merde…

Ah the famous lay and admire toilet.

The wine seems to be a BDN Bordeaux, which I suspect is AI for BON Bordeaux (Good Bordeaux).

Next time do Better Bordeaux, I hear it’s the best.

Oh lol he’ll get reelected then (I don’t know the guy at all, just a few jokes about him I’ve seen on Lemmy)

I know that, but some might pressure you to work the night shift “or…”

People living around bars also want to be able to sleep sometimes.

Closed bar also means less drunk people in the streets. In my city you cannot buy alcohol “to go” in shops after 9pm and bars close at 2.

After that if you want to continue partying you go to night clubs.

Anyway, a wise drunk dude once said “nothing good happens after 2”, and from experience he was right.

The same reason half of Europe has closed shops on Sunday, worker protection.

You need strong laws to not have businesses abusing and pressuring peoples to work the shity 14h shift till morning for earning a peanut.

And workers protection law + North America are not often put in the same sentence.

Also it’s generally not worth it business wise. Paying salaries and more from 2 to 4 (or 6am or whatever) to sell two beers means losing money. You might have a few festive nights here and there, but most of the weeks/months you’ll have an empty bar so even the owners are not pushing for it.

I work in ATC and we have several desks with around 12 to 18 screens. Not in that layout tho, but on a much larger banana form.

They are used at different support positions so not ATC radars. Mostly for monitoring but also used with keyboard and mouse.

The applications goes from technical surveillance of ops systems, to flow capacity (airspace capacity), meteo broadcast for all airports (ATIS) or ground-ground telecommunications of aeronautical data.

Yeah ok… Clean them like any normal logical human being, aka by using common sense and stuff you already have at home. Or buy those non necessary cleaning kits!

Thanks wired.
