About
The Tin Pusher Chronicles
It's the often exciting, sometimes poignant episodic tale of three air traffic controllers, each battling the incredible stress of what's called the world's toughest job: keeping hundreds of humanity-filled airliners from taking "the aluminum shower."
There's Antwan, a scope jockey at Cleveland TRACON. He's got the perfect wife and the perfect life--at least when he's not suffering nightmares and hallucinating about air disasters.
Rob works the tower at Baltimore-Washington International. Rob is a functional alcoholic who usually does his drinking after a grueling shift. But when an arrogant trainee sends him "down the tube," Rob
goes on a drunken binge that costs him his future.
Debbie, on the other hand, has it together, and even after a decade of pushing tin, still finds the job fullfilling. The Chicago TRACON controller meets a fascinating man, who surprises her with a first date... of skydiving. But in the meantime, Debbie is called on to help save an airliner that's lost its vertical control.
And there's the private pilot who flies illegally and causes a crash that only the best professionals can keep from becoming a tragedy.
