Day in the Work Life: Air traffic controller

Sherry Avery air traffic controller

On this week's "A Day In the Work Life" -- our regular look at how folks trade time for money -- we take off with an air traffic controller.

Sherry Avery is the manager of one of the busiest air traffic tower hubs in the country. The controllers she supervises guide planes into airports in Los Angeles, Burbank, Santa Monica, Van Nuys and elsewhere in Southern California. (Photo: Keren Ness)
