Episode 122 Show Notes

Topic of the show: What is taking that controller so long?  Whiskey Charlie sent in a question on OB120 about a reroute that took a little while in the tower.  On this episode, we will hear from two of the controllers that work at the facility providing the outstanding service.  We find out why the reroute took so long, what obstacles are in the controller’s way, and how the controller tried his best using paper charts!
