How could two Midwest professionals allow this to happen, I mean, the combined experience level between the two..........oh wait a minute......sorry it was a rent-a-crew.

So what's these guys' excuses?

Why don't they takeoff on 7/25 and land on 6/24 or visa versa. They would still have 2 rwy's each for departures and arrivals, but wouldn't have to cross an active as much

Ops...my bad. I just realized my analysis was flawed. It should have read,

"Fortunately for RAH....Unfortunately for the rest of the industry."

Until you have the CF of people having to get to the north/south complex on a couple of taxiways which means Eagle would never get to their nest.
