Union Tries to Boost Air Traffic Controller Image

The air traffic controllers' union is trying to repair their members' damaged reputation with a video emphasizing their professionalism and the safety of air travel.  Doug Church, a spokesman for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, says controllers are tired of the jokes and comments they've heard since a series of incidents involving controllers making errors, and sleeping and watching movies on duty.

The union posted the following YouTube video featuring controllers from Miami, Seattle, Kansas City and Portland, OR, expressing their pride in their work. Their comments are interspersed with facts about the nation's aviation system.
