Aviation Ping!......................
Good lord. I hear flying is down. This type of news doesn’t help.
Good thing the pilot that was landing pulled up. That would have left a scratch.
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.
The timestamp in the video is FEB 25 8:28 AM - This morning at Midway in Chicago
I look both ways before crossing a 1-way street, a consequence of having lived and worked in the City of Atlanta proper some years ago. There is a *lot* of stupid out there!
Whoa...that pilot deserves a huge raise. He just saved a lot of lives.
Someone got a phone number
Boy is that Corporate jet crew in BIG trouble!!!
Nope. That is what we are trained for.
Prepare for every takeoff to be rejected at high speed.
Prepare for every landing to end up in a go around.
Be pleasantly surprised when you complete a takeoff and complete a landing.

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.
Years ago I got "that number." Delta almost ran me down, it was a near miss. When asked how close I lied. I was not at fault and it was probably a controller that F--- up. I know this made a controller happy and a Delta Pilot happy. I am not a fan of the FAA. I suspect the Delta Pilot also lied as I never got a follow up phone call.
This was during the Aircraft Controllers strike in the 80s and ATC was doing the best they could with limited staff. President Reagan told them if they went on strike he would fire them. They went on strike and Reagan fired all that did.
OBAMA’ hire!
AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER !
It’s all over Fox news
Nope. That is what we are trained for.

You have my complete respect because it sounds like you were / are an excellent pilot. The pilot of the 737 made that look routine. Landings at Midway are scary enough.
