But watching the whole thing...it didn’t look like the incoming flight intersected runway 27 that Connie 690 was on.

I have a friend that is a ground traffic controller at PHL. Next time I see him I’ll ask at what point the switch-over from GTC to ATC and vice versa takes place. Seems like that would always be a critical interval.

Clearance to land means permission to use the entire runway.

Position and Hold means permission to SIT at the end of the runway. Not until ‘Cleared for takeoff’ does the aircraft have permission to use the runway.

It certainly looked like it did.

Rereading your post I believe you are saying incoming flight did not cross 27.
