As long as the pilots follow instructions.

Sometimes we get bad instructions and have to use our own judgment. I've seen a decline in the competence of ATC lately. Many have no idea of the speed and performance differences between aircraft and will clear jets to land behind cessna 152s. Garbled English in thick foreign accents is becoming more common. Just a few weeks ago I was talking to some guy in the tower who told me to "remain north-south of the airport at all times". I asked him for clarification and he just repeated it. I had no idea what he meant so I just did 360s with my head on a swivel looking for traffic until I got my landing clearance. I made extra sure to scan every inch of both runways/taxiways before I set it down too.

If the pilot makes a mistake, the pilot dies. If the air traffic controller makes a mistake, the pilot dies.
