My friend R. Doug Wicker being interviewed by Matt Posner, revealing the graveyard humor of air traffic controllers. See also Part 2, Doug's views on who's to blame if you're shot.

J.A. Beard (jabeard) Good interview.

I've always find ATC's an interesting bunch, in that they have an important job that's critical to safety, but they don't have a lot of 'control' if something goes bad.

It's interesting, given the kind of books he writes, that his chatting with Michener is what finally convinced him to take a shot.

That Michener business struck me too; I used to read Michener, back when I had a life and plenty of time.

I've said it before: Matt does a really good interview, all the right questions.

Of course, I shall take all the credit for conceiving of this conjunction and putting them together.

Yo, folks, there is always space on my blog for articles of this quality. I don't care what you write, or whether I agree with you. Quality is King. Book or movie reviews, interviews, sports views, opinion, whatever you feel strongly about and can write well about.
