Reading these posts from various places around the globe reminds me of an experience I had a number of years ago. I was on a cruise ship heading out from the port of Caracas, Venezuela to Aruba. Against the backdrop of lush green mountains, I could see the inbound flury of jets flying downwind, base and turning final for the ILS. In this magnificent setting it occured to me that I was watching the handiwork of another controller and I was struck by the fact that those of us who do this job have so much in common. We all think pretty much alike, live similar lives disrupted by our shift work and have a passion for excellence on the job. From Venezuela to Venice, China to Chicago, we controllers are indeed a band of brothers and sisters.
