FAA Says 2 Jetliners Came Within 600 Feet Of Midair Collision

[samballs]

we left around lunch time the other day. 12 in line seemed like it was dinner time. JFK sucks

600 ft? Thats nothing.

 

[belchfire]

most all of them. We do at XJT. CAL does - I'm sure there are others

Huh, been at three and none of them did/do which I find interesting. The Jetstream would have been very easy to manage a LAHSO in. I don't see being able to verify your landing performance with the typical short notice you get, but what the heck.

And how many 121 carriers have LAHSO in their Op Specs?

Comair does as well.

Also in the news, today: MESA SUCKS!

The root cause of this has nothing to do with pilots and controllers. It has to do with trying to move too fracking many planes off of too little pavement that was originally intended for DC-3's and Pan Am Seaplanes.

Bingo!
