Thank Gawd there was no collision.

Not a good week for the FAA.

Don’t forget that the FAA went full DEI on hiring a couple years ago, this is just the fruits of their experiment.There will be More.

Just looking at a slowed down monitor-image of that incident kind of takes your breath away. You know how huge those planes are. To be thatclose to smacking into one, had to be dreadful.

Somebody’s going to miss their next scheduled promotion.
It will be on their Permanent Record!

According to the FAA, air traffic controllers “noticed another aircraft crossing the runway in front of the departing jetliner” and canceled the aircraft’s takeoff clearance.

Plane I was on had to do a go-around while trying to land at London-Gatwick because another plane was on the runway.

Also, approaching Atlanta one rainy night, the pilot put the throttle full on and climbed like taking off. I looked down and saw another plane go directly under us, perhaps 100 feet below. Scary.

I hope folks are enjoying their cultural enrichment courtesy of the latest airline hiring policies.

Wonder if my son has heard. I’ll send him the link ( he is captain on 737s for a different airline).

That happened once already and it was a nightmare scenario.
