I'm finding it very interesting, it's good to see what goes on behind the scenes.
The air traffice controllers make their job look fairly easy even though I'm sure it's not.
They all seem very relaxed, I'd be bricking it in case I made a mistake, not a job to have a bad day at!

A very interesting program.
I once knew an airtrafic controller who retired very early from the job due to stress.
It was very difficult acting cool and calm but underneath the facade the stress of having so many lives under his control was too much to handle.
I loved the Jumbo Jet full service article, replacing an engine at the same.

I work for an aerospace company but only dealing with satellite communication equipment. Would be interesting to understand a bit more about what goes on behind the scenes.

Interesting viewing although I find that asian lass hard to watch with her head nodding and "I am not listening" demeanour when talking to the staff.

Good short series of programmes, I would like to see more of this type of programme on TV.
Did anyone see the programme that was on after it about Ryanair and Easyjet?...very interesting.
