Near Collision on Ground at Midway

If he had to, quote "yell", he should have just hit the brakes.

From the right seat, If I see a conflict, I'm immediately and forcefully doing exactly what this FO did, "STOP!" while moving my feet up to the brakes in case it doesn't immediately happen. But if you want to play Monday morning QB this is Flightinfo.........

That's pretty much exactly what happened. The FO was all over it, and the CA trusted him and applied full brake (before the FO could get to it).

Excellent job.

Nice job avoiding a bad one... However, I would say that all the extra comm afterwards was a waste of time and a potential source of further error. Just say "please mark the tapes" and call them when you aren't driving an airplane anymore.
