Air Traffic Controller's have had their standards lowered for years now.

It was the subject of much discussion here on FR in the last 5-10 years.

If I’m reading this right (it’s not 100% clear to me) both pilots were following air traffic control instructions. Can any Freepers clarify?

Comforts me to know that Air Traffic Controller qualifications
are based on skin color and gender identity now. There were
way too many white males before.

I'll talk later, I have a flight to catch.

This should never happen. There are safeguards in place. Someone in ATC should probably lose their job or be retrained.

The air traffic controller sounded like an obamanite.
