Buy that FexEx pilot a case of his favorite, that’s some heads-up flying on approach.

I had this happen back in the 1970s at Providence RI Airport, T.F. Greene (IIRC). We were on approach when the pilot pulled up. He came on the intercom and said he liked to have the runway all to himself when he landed, so we were going around to try again.

ATC is going woke, is this incident a result?

Nothing to worry about here as all of staff in the FAA Tower have been fully vaxxed and boosted and have completed their mandatory classes on usage of proper pronouns.

A colleague was squashed in the similar incident at LAX 35 years ago. The big jet came down right on top of the commuter plane on the runway.

I wonder what the pilot was either saying out loud at the time or what he said after landing that was not recorded.

just a little reminder... During the Obama admin, Valerie Jarrett looked at all the pay scales of jobs versus how many POC, and on that basis the #1 qualifications for Air Traffic Control became?..... BLACK + VAGINA. Yes folks these mishaps are the result of eliminating aptitude, skill, temperament, test scores, and merit (WHITE MALES) to hire and promote based on skin color and gender. We are reaping what was sown.
