Episode 271Show Notes

Topic of the show: What type of decision making and planning is involved when a controller takes decisive action to run a squeeze play? What is a squeeze play? Why is the anatomy of a squeeze play important when evaluating a given traffic scenario? This week's show answers all those questions and dives deep into the parts of air traffic you don't hear on the news.
