So accurate

I'm a software engineer who worked in the aerospace industry for 10 years. This is a strip board for air traffic control. This is used to track which controller is responsible for each airplane. The strips are physically moved as one person hands off the plane to the next one. While this is now done electronically with software, a lot of towers still use the physical system as well as a backup.

I think the joke is that blocking tickets are treated like atc handoffs with things like positive handoff confirmation. This is making sure the next owner has acknowledged the transfer of responsibility before ownership is transferred.

So while it's probably an obscure reference for most people, it's incredibly accurate at most companies.
