Where it is going
We ran public data on 15,304 airports through simple, published rules. 4,397 airports with no tower today could fit some kind of remote service. That is a what-if, not a plan.
Where you fit
Controllers, technicians, engineers, coders, researchers and planners. Real first steps and who is hiring.
