FAA probes new close call at LAX

[Inconceivable]

Last I heard when you are cleared to land you get the WHOLE runway for as long as you need it.

A-freaking-men! I fly planes. I don't sequence them. Got a problem with my flying? Come down out of your tower and show me. Otherwise, what we have is a SEQUENCING problem--and that's your problem.

It's ok, their Union will help them out.

One of the next few threads will contain an anti-union guy saying "they SHOULD be fired for being so stupid, we don't WANT a union saving their jobs"

Watch

I blame Mesa.

Well said.
That reminds me of the crew that advised ATC that they're unable to make a ridiculously tight crossing restriction that ATC tried to assign them at the last minute. The smarta$$ controller responded "why not use your speedbrakes, isn't that what they're for"? The crew responded "speedbrakes are for my screwups, not yours"!

So you 'heard' this is, or 'read' this from the same tired list of jokes that starts with 'We were taxiing in Berlin when...'

LOL, no I didn't hear this.
I don't even know if it's really true, but it's funny nonetheless.

It Won't fly!!
