U-ATC,

Let me see.

You have exactly how many instructions at your command as an ATC?

Go fast. That's one.

Go slow. That's two.

Turn right. That's three.

Turn left. That's four.

Climb. That's five.

Descend. That's six.

Can't think of any more [unless you're a tower controller who can say stop!].

So, you have EXACTLY SIX INSTRUCTIONS that you can give, and you consider yourself worthy of a huge salary and a huge range of service conditions that the average Australian could only dream of. You are an anachronism and a hindrance to effective air traffic management. Resign, and do the travelling public a favour!!!
