i feel for you Pig. I didn’t hired for that job either, though I was dropped after taking the test, before getting to the interview. I should have sued for discrimination because not everyone can think three dimensionally.
In grade school the nuns told us: “Good, better, best – Never let it rest – Till your good is better – And your better best”. Even as a kid, it made me want to barf.
Funny thing is, I was up for that job way, way back in the 80s. I was disqualified on vision, so I went into healthcare. I wonder how life would have been different if my eyesight were better ;-)
Poor guy. It was just the wrong time. Now, if it was the 80’s after Reagan fired all the controllers for going on strike, the bar would have been lower.
My son was an Air Traffic Controller onboard the USS Carl Vinson. Her handled the stress just fine. I think it was like a video game to him that he dare not lose.

You have to bet 1.000 for this job, Pig.

It looks like police officers now have to worry about failure to keep people alive.

Some of those controllers seem to be getting more gigs lately…

There are no Mulligans on that job.

This is like when an airplane pilot was asked; How many landings does it take to be considered an expert? He replied, “Everyone is necessary.”

Become a pilot, Pig. And then we can say when pigs fly.

I like Pig a great deal, however, when I am flying around up there, I prefer someone a little more skilled to do the job. Still love you, Pig.

You probably won’t land the brain surgeon or rocket scientist positions, either.

Poor Pig! At least he tried but got oinked out of the position by another HOG!

Spoiler alert, one of the highest depression and suicide jobs. At least my former psychiatrist said so.

The job requires a slightly higher standard, Pig.

Thank god. Pig would probably let Rat into the tower, and then things would really be bad.

Aww. Poor pig. how do he and rat stay afloat anyway? Pig has no job, and Rat quit Joe’s Roastery a little bit ago, right?

In baseball a batting average of .300 is good. In air traffic control, however…

If you think the Air-traffic controller is an important job, try being an Ejection Seat Mechanic.

Failure might be an option in other fields like say Private Detective, but sadly not air traffic controller.
