Runway incursion reconstructions- Yikes!!!

[funky]

I'm pretty sure that controller at PVD is still there. Screwed me over once last summer panicking about a DC-3 blowing altitude alerts. Talked to another controller about it and he began to go off on her and then kept his cool. The USAir crew deserves the kudos in that incident, certainly not United.

Mr. I.

If this is true that is unbelievable. I mean we're not talking about the equipment or the process here, the ACTUAL person is the problem in this particular situation. The controller's personality does not fit. Nobody should get irate or demonstrative over the air. ESPECIALLY ATC responsible for hundreds of lives each minute. Some people just handle stress that way -- she is one of them. Those people CANNOT be allowed to be in that position.

I can just hear in now (in a few years):

"United 331 cleared to land"
"United 331 turn at the next taxiway"
"Tower, United, we have a problem here with the hydraulics, standby"
"American 227 cleared to land, United please expedite your turn"
"Tower, United, we have a problem here and cannot exit the active"
"United, go around"
