The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has been struggling to find qualified air traffic controllers, with the number of people in the job declining by around 6 percent in the last decade. The Trump administration is launching a recruitment campaign targeting gamers ahead of the annual air traffic control hiring window on April 17th. The FAA credits gaming as an influence on their ability to think quickly, stay focused, and manage complexity. However, the recruitment process may be difficult due to challenges such as shortage of qualified instructors, limited curriculum, and high training failure rates. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) welcomes these efforts.
