A huge ATC turnover has been happening for the last 3 or 4 years.
All the controllers that hired in after the 1981 Patco strike have reached retirement age.
Like before the replacements are young and imho were seeing the flushing of some of the new young ones that can't make the grade.
When I was in my last years as an ATC I was planning on being surrounded by experienced controllers that could watch my back.
Instead I was surrounded by many new hires, first time controllers with no experience that we had to train during moderate traffic to provide them a meaningful challenge.
I use to tell my friends not to fly on weekends because that was the days off of the senior controllers.
