  1. And the Democrats keep calling for equity, equality, diversity, forget qualifications , just keep employing black and brown

  2. 10 million flights per year in the US.

  3. They do a great job, but sometimes small safety tweeks can avoid disaster.

  4. i was fueling a king air and watched this happen at burbank 😭 my booty hole was puckered for them

  5. This USED to be a rare event, now it became a FREQUENT issue. What is going on, really?

  6. More like complacency. Most controllers are amazing. But complacency is an issue in my opinion and it needs to be thwarted by senior controllers.

  7. COVID? I know I left the aviation maintenance role.since COVID. We always take the brunt of any issue happening around the world and pilots and ATC feel the same. Alot of the skills in aviation left during that two year period and have not looked back. What's left is undertrained and over worked. These kind of instances will continue to rise for many years to come unfortunately

  8. Air Traffic Controllers are overworked and underpaid!

  9. I think ATC got the flight numbers of 5326 and 5826 mixed up because they look similar?

  10. We need not forget the amount of flights, the sheer traffic going in and out of our airports, If you really think about it, its a wonder such incidents don't happen more often. Heck, it a wonder we dont see more crashes all together. just think about it, the tens of thousands of daily flights and at best you may have a light aircraft doing an emergency landing or a commercial flight doing another pass for landing. it is the safest means of travel by far.

  11. What in the heck is going on with air traffic controllers? Did they retire all the experienced ones and hire new people? Seems they need more training.

  12. To busy making or thinking about tic tok

  13. 4th close call? It’s only February.

  14. 1:26 aaaannnnndddd you just jinxed it.

  15. cari duit beribu ribu kena tipu dengan imam mahdi palsu juga rupa nya.

  16. This is all the result of the vaccine mandates causing a pilot shortage which in turn caused the FAA to lower the standards for Pilots to hire enough pilots. Many qualified Pilots are now unable to fly due to heart damage from the vaccine. Many other pilots who refused the vaccine have been fired. America's airlines are in grave danger now with unqualified Pilots in the cockpits.

  17. Slow days for news outlets lately. These things have been happening regularly for decades and only those of us in the industry were aware of it. Doesn't mean it's ok, but you're still 65x more likely to die driving to your destination than flying. So, chill out people and quit taking the sensationalism bait.

  18. Let's not make ATC work long hours, and understaffed. Make the FAA pay for this. It is their policies for ATC. We will hold FAA responsible for these money saving policies to profit the airlines more.

  19. Stop so much cost-cutting and investing in technology and short cuts, and start investing in the controllers and pilots who make the skies safe – training, adequate salaries, correct working conditions. The profit motive is getting way out of hand!

  20. everyone got used to working from home during covid and dont want to work anymore now
