Ok… another information into my developed fear to fly.

Not only do we have to watch out for improperly built Boeing planes, but now we also have to be on the lookout for clueless ATC controllers... It's only a matter of time for things to really get out of control.

This has been going on for some time now. I wish they could design red lights and green lights that are are somehow triggered when clearance is given

I love the "expert" demanding to know why two controllers were working at the same airport. 😂 Southwest was talking to ground and JetBluewas talking to tower. Wait until he finds out there are frequently multiple tower controllers talking on multiple frequencies. 🤯

Are we ready to talk about the elephant in the room???

Here is a perfect example of how AI will revolutionize some critical jobs where there is no room for silly human error. A near collision with hundreds of lives were on the line possibly because an air traffic controller missed his morning coffee. Even with current technology, there is no excuse for this
