I read the article and I don’t quite see the line they took to get that gamers are the target applicants they want…
Was it just the ability to sit in a chair and watch a screen for 8+ hours a day?
Was it the outliers like those half dozen people who have platinum’d crimson desert already?
The people who play rage bait being able to handle without cracking under direct pressure?
It’s just a large demographic…
They need bodies at this point, any bodies.
So they’re aiming at one of the largest demographics for younger generations.
0.01% of video gamers, is more people than 0.01% of all tiddlywinks players.
It doesn’t matter how well it connects, it’s just a large demo that watches a bunch of YouTube videos and will see the ads.
So they probably don’t want gamers who yell at and punch their monitors? Well there goes my potential career.
I vaguely remember reading something about ATC workers being on average really good at StarCraft 2.
The reason ATC is on the verge of collapse in the US is because Regan killed the union.
Who would’ve thought letting bosses have their own way would lead to this. /s
Aren’t there people who larp air traffic controllers in Microsoft flight simulator?
Maybe cosplay, not larp.
“sir, you cannot land inverted” “WATCH ME” “fine, but get it done quickly and be sure to taxi off immediately”
You aren’t really larping with that kind of allowance, right?
Chat, are we cooked?
I would love to be an air traffic controller but i think I’m too old to start
So the people who scream racial slurs when provoked? Makes sense for this administration.
Mate we’re not all like that, some of us just play video games (shocking I know)
Don’t see any other community that screams racial slurs when they lose, and I cannot stress this enough, a game.
Soccer/football. They also yell them when they’re winning, though.
And now I’m imagining football hooligan air traffic control.
What other kinds of games are there where you can hear what the losers are yelling?
Anything played in person. Where you tend to get punched or ostracized for loudly shouting racial slurs.
You should play more poker.
Given the context, I doubt I should.
“United 172 heavy, you are cleared for takeoff on runway 2 left…bitch”
"Copy that. I should let you know that your mom is joining me in the COCKpit for this one. she’s prepared the landing strip and says she wants to have a go at my yoke.
Oh, and your dad’s a r******* n*****.
BTW, you did get that midget porn loaded on my iPad as requested? Your mother and I are gonna need that once we hit cruising altitude. Over."
