If you have ever spent any time sitting in your vehicle during rush hour traffic while other motorists anxiously attempt to merge onto the freeway at high rates of speed, you have a good idea of how hectic an air traffic controller's job could become.

In fact, the day to day problems faced by ATC are usually related to the volume of air traffic demand placed on the system or area that they manage.
