The budgetary questions are unrelated to UX/UI stagnation though.
It's annoying how many modern web sites change their entire design framework once every two years, yes. But ATC? Aeronautics in general? Most of maritime? Once it's certified, it's practically ossified - and for good reason. Bad UI/UX can literally kill [1].
Nevertheless, I think it's worth having the debate - and that led by actual air traffic controllers, please - if and if yes, how, UX/UI can be improved.

- alephnerd 1y agoOn the hierarchy of needs, it's a much lower priority than actually investing in solving maintenance related problems that are the primary cause of the Newark ATC related issues.
- mschuster91 1y agoSure, sure, but this can and should be done in parallel.
- saulpw 1y agoI don't believe the user's primary complaint is the UI of their devices. Why should they take time out of their overworked schedules to have a debate they aren't already having?
- bzmrgonz 1y agoWell for starters, perhaps an easier visual interface would increase interest among young people into considering ATC career. It's kind of like how the world is considering streamlining the medical fields and pairing AI with medical students and maintaining that pairing into their careers. The idea being that by modernizing the requirements, medical practice will become more appealing. Remember when calculators were banned in schoolS? Same is happening with careers which traditionally relied on mentally amassing large BOKs(body of knowledge).
