"I believe that the implementation of the Single European Sky programme will increase the demand for highly qualified workers and bring with it jobs with high financial rewards. The fundamental processes of air traffic control have barely evolved since the Second World War and have remained essentially a craft. Air traffic controllers still use mental maps of individual aircraft, their positions, headings and speed within the sector of airspace for which they are responsible. They are still certified and licensed and are appointed for only one or a few such sectors. They continue to communicate instructions to pilots by radio communication. The Single European Sky, the SESAR programme and the Functional Airspace Blocks initiative offer the opportunity to modernise and automate this branch. This would allow greater mobility for air traffic controllers, who would be able to apply their talents more widely – as pilots increasingly do now – and thus contribute to a more flexible, robust and innovative branch."@en1
