ATC numbers took 10+ years to recover after Reagan. Not only that but more flights and longer hours means even with the former number before the trump cuts, the ATCs were struggling. While each individual cut is small, ATCs are more strained than ever, and there is also the risk of organized strikes or more mass firings. Also, it takes a while to train ATCs, so it's not something that can be immediately rectified without rehiring the fired workers and reinstating trainees
I’m sorry, I guess I could post this elsewhere, but there is computer software that can do a lot better job than people at determining possible collisions That software can notify people who can then oversee the change in flight pattern.
Currently the warning system still requires human acknowledgment without any communication to the Vehicle/vehicles involved.
A system that would work would notify the individuals who are flying within their instrument panels similar to how we use Waze in a car to notify us if we need to turn right. Having 1 million air traffic controllers trying to do that job for the user is just foolish.
Have you ever used software... it ain't great. They also have software that can land planes. You wanna volunteer for those flights?
I use a lot of software. Buggy as all get out apps gets tossed for apps that work.
Being stuck with buggy software from the 1940’s sounds worse to me.

Go sit in the back of a Tesla and have it drive you somewhere.
