Mostly going to inadequate and incompetent new hires. We're not selecting based on merit and competence.
We make a big deal out of interview process in Software engineering. But when it comes to critical life/death situation jobs, we don't.

- jakub_g 3y ago> "inadequate and incompetent new hires" * *citation needed From what I've read last week [0], the main problem is that there's not enough (qualified) candidates being hired, and current ATC employees are routinely working 6d x 10h weeks. Stressed & overworked employees doesn't seem like a great solution to critical life/death situation either.
