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.

Audio shows an air traffic controller canceling the take off clearance for the AA flight 2134 as the private King Air plane was set to land on an intersecting runway at 10:21am local time.

Audio shows nothing, it may record/tell, but it SHOWS nothing.

Talk to maintenance is code for punching the living daylights out of the control idiot.

We're weeks away from a spectacular crash and no one in the government or the Propaganda Media is going to address the lowered standards and Didn't Earn It (DEI) hiring.

It has been increasingly difficult to find people capable of serving as controllers, and also difficult to make it worth their while to live near a place like Washington DC, but the power brokers don't care as they fly in private jets through smaller, sometimes private, airports.

It's all okay though, the magicians making so-called Artificial Intelligence is going to solve all our critical thinking skills deficiencies.

I flew into London-Gatwick once and as we neared the ground the pilot gunned it and went around. He explained later that there was another plane on the runway ahead.

He also said that there would be no additional charge for the additional flying. - British humor!
