The accident of two planes at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport in October 2016 brought the main responsible party, the air traffic controller, into the focus of public attention. The reporter's investigation showed that the air traffic controllers who bear almost the same heavy responsibility as the civil aviation pilots are not only overloaded for a long time, but also pay only one-fifth of the pilots. The general public would think that the controller sits in front of the glass windows of the tower and directs which runway a large aircraft carrying hundreds of people takes off, lands on, and at what altitude, and has the right to decide which flight to fly first, and Which aircraft parked at the station, "say one or two", they control the order in the civil aviation domain at some point. Controllers work hard and relatively boring, but their salary is not high. Not to mention that compared with pilots, in fact, the income is also about 30% lower than that of students who work in airlines and other positions.
