Ferris,

What is overtime, I haven't received any overtime since 1994. When we have controllers call in sick we work short staffed.

We have hundreds of former military controllers and just as many college trained individuals sitting on the door step waiting for those doors to open up. You are right, if the FAA opened the doors to foreign controllers the impact would be interesting to see.
