HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	I was born in 1963, so just a kid for most of it. We weren't rich, had just on B&W, 19" TV, which was tuned to News, or sports, while Dad was in the house. I did manage to scrounge up a color TV, and get it working, well really close anyway. But, soon as dad found out, it became his... Least we got to watch something else on the B&W for a while. And dad mellowed out some, on me messing with electronics. The hippies protested a lot more than the war. They didn't like anyone telling them what they couldn't, and could do. They didn't like paying for stuff, they didn't want to pay for, or understand why people didn't share, if they had more than they needed. Most people called it stealing.

keepit ★★★★★ (3074)	Harvey, so you were born in 63 and at some age you could fix a tv and learn from walter cronkite the culture of the hippie generation. ??? My brother wrote a book that said at age 2 i threw him off a bridge into a river (i was 4). He said this was a good thing because it taught him how to swim so that at age 2 he could sneak out of the house and swim out miles into the ocean at night. Good grief. I guess you could have learned the hippie culture by living it during your teens but you don't seem to have any hippie culture in you any more. Without the vietnam war to protest i think the other issues were too minor to carry on much protesting.

Without the vietnam war to protest i think the other issues were too minor to carry on much protesting. The war was the hot topic of the time, since family and friends were being killed, or coming home in pieces. The hippy protesting the war, was really rubbing people grieving, in a bad way. Mostly, I think they just used the war to draw attention, so some would listen to the other garbage, which only appealed to other hippies. I started messing with electronics at 11 or 12. We weren't rich, so gadgets weren't going to happen, unless I could repair, or build something from salvaged parts. The color TV was sitting at the curb, summer before I started high school. Didn't even know it was color, until I messed with it for a while. Two tubes didn't light up, and replacing them got me a picture, not real good, but it wasn't black & white. Read everything I could find, tried everything suggested, played with dozens of adjustments, and eventually got a clear picture, though the colors were always a little off. Had to keep it hidden from mom and dad. Only working on it, when dad was at work, mom busy with chores. That was pretty much how I did electronics for many years after. Savage something, try to fix it, or save all the parts I could. Took two years of electronics shop classes in high school, started on Electrical Engineering in college. At about 2 years in, realized it was the career I dreamed, salvaged the credits I could, filled in what I needed for an Associates Degree. Least some degree, would have some value, didn't really.

This is a good example which offers the chance for the reader to make his or her own judgement. In this case i happen to know more of the history because my good friend was involved (he'd actually been discharged from his job as air traffic controller just prior to the strike but that's another story). The firing wasn't about safety. Rather it was about pay and working conditions. To claim they were fired because of safety is bogus. The system at the time was dangerous because of overworking of the controllers but that wasn't in the control of the controllers (no pun intended). To fire the union workers over a labor dispute and replace them with inexperienced controllers was the definite safety threat (no accidents happened as a result however, thank goodness). ibd hammered himself with his bogus case and reagan was wrong. You judge for yourself. The us isn't a dictatorship and the us isn't ruled by people, it's ruled by laws. Trump is finding that out. Too bad, he did some good things but he had a dictatorial style. Reagan also did some good things. For example he was in charge when the berlin wall fell. Hooray.

Just within the few previous posts of this thread keepit bungled basic English: 1: Controller's lives matter. (the apostraphe goes outside the "s") 2. I didn't say i participated in protests. ("I" needs to be upper case) 3. It rubbed some the wrong way but protesting seemed liked a good idea to some. The second word "some" needs to be the word "others." 4. "We ARE the people of california!". Again on the upper case 5. Some time later he fired all the air traffic controllers. The pronoun "he" needs to be its antecedent "Reagan" because keepit was talking about a bused-in student from out of state in that context and the student did not fire all the air traffic controllers. 6. I wasn't a controller but i never forgave him* for that.* Once again we have missing capitalization and without the "Reagan" antecedent keepit is saying that he will never forgive the bused-in "student." 7. you could fix a tv and learn from walter cronkite ... We get it, keepit never learned the rules for upper case. 8. i threw him off a bridge into a river (i was 4). Upper case again 9. Without the vietnam war to protest i think ... Upper case again 10. itn just said i did ... Upper case again It would be one thing if keepit were butchering English grammar to ultimately make some sort of valid point, but he rarely says anything meaningful and never (except for one time by sheer luck) says anything that is correct.

IBdaMann★★★★★ (14462)	Into the Night wrote:Their training differs in a number of ways. Sure, and those differences are all based on the context of the circumstance. If you take an (US) Air Force controller and have him help at a civilian airport, after a basic orientation for that airport he would be helping out following all the civilian rules. The reverse cannot happen because civilian controllers do not receive the training required to support military sorties, formations and missions. As part of the Air Expeditionary transformation, US Air Force controllers are trained to provide assistance to civilian airports in many countries around the world in many different theaters as the mission requires. The Air Force also has mobile airport "packages" that enable the Air Force to establish an airport in any remote location anywhere in the world for both military and civilian traffic as required, and Air Force controllers are trained specifically in that equipment so as to be ready to be deployed/dispatched to control any airspace as needed. Other military services get some training in these packages but the Air Force owns them and the Air Force is the military's executive agent for air traffic control in any given theater. Into the Night wrote: Actually, in both cases the job of the controller is to keep aircraft moving, and to help organize flow around an airport (or airbase). Technically, the job of the ATC is to assist pilots (who control all aspects of their respective aircrafts).

keepit ★★★★★ (3074)	Let's talk about the numbers. At the time of the strike there was a fixed number of controllers, the majority of them civilian. Then you fire the civilians and leave ATC to new hires and military controllers. Obviously the capabilities of ATC will diminish to a certain extent. The air traffic in the us was slowed for several months after this until every one got up to speed. Fortunately there were no accidents during this time. A funny story about my friend the L.A. approach control controller. He had been retired from the FAA with a mental discharge just before the strike. They said he was "crazy". Then when the FAA started scrambling for replacements they called him and asked him to return part time to help out. He asked them, "If i return part time will i still get my retirement pay?" They said, "No." He said, "Well then, i'd have to be "crazy" to return." This from a guy they had labeled as "crazy". He was a great guy, part Indian and one of my best friends. He passed away about 25 years ago. Rest in peace friend. Edited on 20-03-2021 22:54

If you take an (US) Air Force controller and have him help at a civilian airport, after a basic orientation for that airport he would be helping out following all the civilian rules. The reverse cannot happen because civilian controllers do not receive the training required to support military sorties, formations and missions. As part of the Air Expeditionary transformation, US Air Force controllers are trained to provide assistance to civilian airports in many countries around the world in many different theaters as the mission requires. The Air Force also has mobile airport "packages" that enable the Air Force to establish an airport in any remote location anywhere in the world for both military and civilian traffic as required, and Air Force controllers are trained specifically in that equipment so as to be ready to be deployed/dispatched to control any airspace as needed. Other military services get some training in these packages but the Air Force owns them and the Air Force is the military's executive agent for air traffic control in any given theater. Into the Night wrote: Actually, in both cases the job of the controller is to keep aircraft moving, and to help organize flow around an airport (or airbase). Technically, the job of the ATC is to assist pilots (who control all aspects of their respective aircrafts). Ground control, which is technically separate but run together with ATC, is responsible for being the ground cop. Pilots don't get to jump ahead in line on taxi. Actually, they do. They might get ratted out for it by a controller, but the pilot is responsible for the operation of that aircraft. There are times when it's perfectly legitimate to cut in front another aircraft, even when taxiing. Yes...emergencies can and do happen even before an airplane leaves the ground.
