Of course your opinion regarding the dearth of ATC applicants is not
backed by any credible supporting facts.

Because in this country no controller can be sued. No way I do this job
if I am exposed to the legal system for any minor perceived injustice,
not to mention an actual accident.


No way? Why not? Have you ever had situations occur in which you
have had to be defended by the FAA?

No because the FAA becomes the defendant. That's the deepest pocket out
there and stops the vast majority of lawsuits. But I have talked to
numerous aircraft that have crashed over the years. Lawsuits are not
about fixing a wrong, they are about squeezing money out of turnips.
Insurance companies don't fight lawsuits, they settle, which then drives
up premiums.
