You write as if it's a bad thing but I don't know of a better way to express the necessary personal qualities required to do a job where you have the potential to very quickly, and through a simple mistake, kill 100's of people. This is my personal opinion and from personal experience all ATCOs, not restricted to just NATS.

Q. What the similarity between a pilot and an ATCO?
A. If a pilot makes a mistake the pilot dies. If an ATCO makes a mistake the pilot dies.
