Yep. The AA hires they have had have been terrible. They are stupid and confused and can’t keep traffic straight or their commands straight. One AA idiot thought as long as he told me about traffic at the airport it was OK to have that traffic headed in my direction head on.
When I was learning many years ago at Van Nuys, they bring trainees there sometimes.
Both runways in operation 16R/16L, multiple aircraft in both patterns, the controllers, BOTH OF THEM, gave each of us on downwind Clearance to Land, unfortunately there was a Plane on Short Final for BOTH RUNWAYS, needless to say all Four of us did immediate 180 turns to avoid hitting each other. That controller was sent to Magu Approach after that for less stressful training.
Pretty damn Scary when it happened, it was that close! couple hundred Yards at best
