The Flick -- A term used by air traffic controllers to describe a mental model representing the current and future positions of air traffic in a section of airspace. Controllers visualize the paths of multiple aircraft in terms of position, altitude, trajectory and speed. Controllers also refer to this as "having the picture." But the picture moves -- like a movie -- hence the term “the flick.”

ERAM and CFS
Be sure to run over to The FAA Follies for your latest ERAM update.
I probably won’t hear much more about it until I get to CFS. That is Communicating for Safety and this will serve as your official reminder to sign up for the conference.
Somebody please tell me that ZTL, ZME, ZFW, ZAB and ZLA aren’t getting ERAM before March. I already hate flying enough.
