Should replacement air traffic controllers be geniuses who graduate from MIT as a requirement?

Is this what will make us feel safer to fly?

[AI Opinion]

Feeling safe when flying is more about ensuring that air traffic controllers receive rigorous and specialized training tailored to their critical roles rather than having a degree from an elite institution like MIT. The key is relevant expertise, decision-making skills, and real-world experience in air traffic management. Controllers undergo extensive training programs to handle the complexities of the job. Safety in aviation is built on a robust support system, advanced technology, and skilled professionals working together cohesively. Therefore, graduates from various educational backgrounds can excel as controllers if they possess the necessary skills and training.
