"I prefer to focus on the positives but if I had to pick out a negative component, I would say that the stress level is quite high. With that said, I thrive in a role that has high-performance expectations."

"That is a loaded question! The thing that I dislike the most is also the component that drives and motivates me the most...the stress! Over the years as an ATC, I have come to balance the stress very well. It was certainly a juggling act at the beginning of my career."

"I really love nearly everything about being an air traffic controller. If I had to choose one downfall I would say that I would change the sporadic schedule. Some days I think it would be nice to have a regular 9-5 gig. However, that certainly isn't a deal breaker for me."
