FAA Mandates Monthly Refreshers For Controllers - AVweb

That by itself doesn’t mean much. We successfully landed humans on the moon with flight controllers mostly in their 20s. More important is the drive, dedication, and training they have.

That being said, I have noticed many of the newer controllers at my local tower become easily overwhelmed. But I feel that has more to do with the controller shortage and people being hired on that in the past never would have been considered (but having nothing to do with race or diversity inclusion).
