Have her helmeted the whole time until she bests someone in combat then she takes it off revealing her true self.

Let’s be clear about stress: the longer you are an ATC the more it takes to get you stressed while working airplanes because you’ve seen most of it before and you have a huge mental toolbox.

There are other more insidious stressors that plague us tho. Like have 10 years in the agency and still have Wednesday/Thursday (generally regarded to be the worst set) making you unable to go to any family functions. Missing holidays, little league games, weddings etc add up. So does working nights, days, and overnight shifts in the same week every week. Not going to the doctor out of fear for your job, not being able to take basic medicine like NyQuil or Alka-Seltzer for a cold and go to work. I’ve been in almost 12 years and that’s the stuff that gets me stressed.

Yes, but some places have laws making it illegal. I'm an American air traffic controller and if I strike I actually go to jail since we are essential.

I feel the need to bring up that the EPA was created because unchecked corporations would dump endless chemicals into waterways. Water would literally catch on fire with some regularity.

Also, remember smog? What business incentive was there for GM and Ford to reduce emissions? Being able to see the Hollywood sign while in Hollywood did nothing to their bottom line.
