The complete 1988 questionnaire responses of air traffic controllers, supervisors, and facility managers (the air traffic work force) are compared with those of the air traffic control work force survey done in 1985. The 1985 questions were replicated, and new ones were added. The survey and scope of and methodology are described and the responses to each question are summarized for the air route traffic control centers, which control flights between airports and over oceanic routes; the largest terminals; and the overall combined responses of centers and terminals. The questions and responses address a variety of air traffic issues facing the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), including, among others, work load, staffing, overtime, training, morale, and system safety. The perceptions of the air traffic work force on these subjects have changed little since the 1985 survey.
