Good lord. I hear flying is down. This type of news doesn’t help.

While the SWA went around on their own, The Aviation Herald is reporting that ATC was just about to tell them.

The biz jet had been instructed to hold short, but the Herald didn’t mention if that call was acknowledged.

The biz jet did get a phone number to call after crossing the active without clearance. If you are aircrew, you never want to get a phone number.

Something is not right about this. I cannot watch the video, but there is nothing about this in the news. It may be an older event.

Look both ways before crossing the street.

No one wants to hear it but expect more of these.

It turns out the Unbound Prometheus is in fact very bound by the number of people able to keep all these complex systems going and willing to work for what they're paid.

These korporations didn't go broke because they went woke, they were already going broke and went woke as a means to get customers and other users to accept lower standards and higher risks due to underqualified employees, employees who were purported to have been hired due to some "social justice" lie.

Apparently the “Hold Short of” part of pushing tin has become patriarchal bitterness, and is now optional.

Right before Trump took over a plane preparing to land almost hit into a plane starting to go across their runway. BTW, the entire Gonzaga basketball team was on the plane crossing the runway. Came close to having a Marshall nightmare.

Ground controller better be fired instantly.

South West pilot had his eyes out of the cockpit for sure.

Landing at Honolulu once and some 747 pilot just landed sat on the runway unsure where to go
Our pilot did what this South West guy did, rammed the power on, aborted, and kept going.

Tower raised hell with the guy sitting on the runway.

As we climbed out without directions, pilot asks ATC, “What do you want me to do?”

I’m guessing Harrison Ford was at MDW today.

I was flying into London-Gatwick once and had to go around like that.

The British pilot came on and said the reason for the go-around was a plane on the runway. He also said, “There will not be a charge for the extra bit of flying”.
