ATC is overworked
I agree. Airlines are adding too many flights. Employees are people, people can't do things correctly when overloaded. They need to limit the amount of aircraft being used, but they won't because they want that money.
Overworked and underpaid
BS! A bunch of crybabies have gotten into the profession due to lowering of standards. If you hired people with a proper aptitude for the job, they wouldn’t be overworked at all. It would be a simple thing for them to do. Unfortunately, they hire people who have no aptitude to check, diversity boxes, and for them, of course it’s difficult. They don’t have an aptitude for it.
Ridiculous! Those with an aptitude to do the job are not at all overworked. Those who don’t have the necessary aptitude are absolutely stressed and overworked. The answer is to hire those with an aptitude and get rid of those who don’t have the aptitude . Unfortunately, the FAA will not do that because of their diversity desires.
The Jetblue was never cleared to take-off, they were told to line up and wait. Listen to the full radio recording.
Lord. We're having too many of these. We've had issues since Reagan fired all the air traffic controllers.
Reagan didn’t fire a single air traffic controller. They walked away from the job themselves when they violated their sworn oath to not strike against the federal government. He even gave them an opportunity to return to the job they left. They made their own choice.
"hi welcome to mcdonald's how can i help you?"
😂😂
Stop stop, you can't give fries if your ice cream machine is browken.
Would you like fries with that?
😂😂😂😂
Sir, this is Wendys!
WHEN not IF
Controllers are overworked and underpaid. Who would want to be one anyway? All that stress for what
The Jetblue was never cleared to take-off, they were told to line up and wait. Listen to the full radio recording.
Ridiculous! I made $200k last year. Those with an aptitude to do the job are not at all overworked. Those who don’t have the necessary aptitude are absolutely stressed and overworked. The answer is to hire those with an aptitude and get rid of those who don’t have the aptitude . Unfortunately, the FAA will not do that because of their diversity desires.
Controllers are no underpaid at all. 6 figures easily and many make into the 200-300k range. Overworked? Yes in many cases, its a high workload job.
Theres a shortage of ATC because they're not hiring lol
I was a controller for 26 years. They hire in spurts then freeze it for years. And they don't plan ahead. They had a massive hiring spree in the mid 80's to fill the gap caused by the strike firings. That set up a huge wave of retirements in the 2010's (controllers are forced to retire at age 56). It takes 2-3 years to get a candidate to fully qualified. They should have been hiring like crazy in the aughts. They were not.
What is 01:15 that’s a freaking taxiway what the heck abc news
What do u mean?
Overworked and underpaid, thanks Reagan and the Neolibs!
LMFAO!!!!! WRONG!!!! Its the outcome of DEI ( Didn't Earn It) hires.
@@bigmac2752literally FAA can’t fill the jobs but sure let’s just blame it on DEI instead because you can’t cope 😂
@@MihirK007 LMAO!!!!! Can't fill the jobs??? Did ole twinkle toes Pete Butthead transportion secretary tell you that????
@@bigmac2752 ahhh here comes the elementary name calling since you can't clearly come up with anything else original.
The shortage came from COVID-19 deaths where in a highly specialized field even a dozen controllers dying has massive impacts on top of mandatory retirement requirements affecting the staffing.
But sure believe the propaganda you're being told by your lord savior DJT and his minions. I guess if your lord and savior DJT told you the same exactly thing you'd be kneeling down and believe him and beg for his blessings?
@@bigmac2752 Looking at how you get so triggered and are throwing a tantrum, Are you mentally ill?
Would you prefer a near hit or a near miss?
😂
Be advised Mobius 1 we have bogeys on the runway over….
Airports should be designed to remove these routes crossing runways.
It’s been that way for decades the difference between then and now is hiring standards. It’s not the airport design that’s the problem. It’s the incompetence in the towers
Not big enough
How it rail roads have automatic systems that leads trains trough intersections for century now and airports relaing on human senses? 🤔
That is not possible because they have limited space. Large busy airports have more than one runway. It would take longer to taxi a plane without crossing runways and if there is an emergency then you will need to be able to get emergency responders to aircraft quickly which wouldn’t be possible if there was only one route to get there. The recent problem is ATC is short staffed, it’s a high pace, high stress job so there is a high turnover rate, it’s also hard to train people to become ATC. Airports would need to increase landing fees which Airlines would pass down to their ticket prices.
I absolutely agree they should have a tunnel that goes under runways so they don’t have to actually cross the runway
Horizon guy 449 QX wouldn’t be to proud of your plane skills
For no reason at all, I've been watching plane disaster documentaries all this week. Then this happened, and there was 6 stowaway this week. Wtf.
same here., i am getting youtube recommendations to watch the flight channel, lot of those plane incidents i remember seeing on the news, its so sad. yes, and then pilot doofus of southwest almost took out 2 plane loads of passengers. that man shouldnt be a pilot, he should be a park ranger on a horse
6 what?
Dumb question since I’m no aviation guy, with the technology we have now with tracking system can track speed, altitude, and direction. Why don’t they have the system to alert them if they’re on the collision course with other aircraft?
Umm they do: ASDE.
@@sliferxxxx I see but, doesn’t that only alert the ATC? Adding their “react and response” time before the pilots could find out what happened, are just keeping some “human errors” in the equation.
The aircraft have a system called TCAS that alerts them if they're on a collision course and tells the pilots whether to climb or descend
@@user-wi1bs4kk1n Alright but, doesn’t that only work during flight?
Dude why y’all just labeling southwest here on that thumb nail. In no way was this southwests fault. It was neither airlines fault
As a 30 year FAA controller, level 10-12, I can tell you that standards were absolutely lowered to improve diversity. They created a new base level for incompetence. In other words, “once lowered to improve diversity numbers, they stayed low for everyone.” I’m embarrassed by what has happened to my profession. I can also tell you there will be absolutely no consequences or retraining or addressing of the individual(s) at fault. The union, NATCA protects the weak, and the agency protects diversity.
Agreed. This Diversity, equity and inclusion, leads to all companies hiring anyone who has a pulse. This is why integrity, productivity and respect are shot to hell. Incompetant people who cannot handle high impact jobs.
Why yall got Jerry jones as a expert
No computer aid to prevent human failures?
This is why I will never fly on boeing airplanes
I have flown on bowing before unfortunately nothing fell off although not much more went right! But that was primarily the fault of the airline! From now on if there's a train going there, I sure as hell wouldn't get on a plane! Pete, how about a Amtrak stop in Tulsa?!
@@johnnyfreedom3437 Amtrack stop in Tulsa sounds like a great idea. It better not be named "United Trainlines".
This incident has nothing to do with the plane manufacturers, but I still understand the statement given recent news
@@Th30ddba11 I know, I was just kidding :D
This has NOTHING at all to do with the make of the aircraft. This is a case of poor runway design and poorer judgement on an ATC employee.
I recognize John Nance from Mayday: Air Disasters.
people are going to die because of this
Shortage of Traffic Controllers thanks to Ronald Reagan 😮
pete buttigeg too busy rainbowing around
That explains the shortages during the 80's and early 90's. The FAA has plenty of time to catch up in forty years. The things that have hurt in more recent times is government shutdowns, the sequestration of the 2010's, and COVID
@@amirsadeghi9888 We have our homophobe of the day. Citation needed.
Scary
The FAA in 2012 went to using biographical information to hire candidates rather than training and talent assessment testing (the test that was released in court documents showed things like: You would get 1 point on your score for every high school sport you played, several points if you were unemployed, and surprisingly if you have a pilot's license or previous experience you get 0 points) The FAA is still paying for this blunder and during this time thousands of students paying for their own training gave up trying to get in and moved on with their lives. They probably are not "understaffed", they just don't have enough qualified controllers.
Reply
These controlers MUST be FIRED! They are not paying attention.
It was a near hit
Technically, no.
Can’t wait to fly in two weeks
I bet the silence was loud
Got to be a real nincompoop to be blaming boeing right now .
If it’s Boeing, I ain’t going!
At my last flight, the flight attendant kept saying "let's get this Boeing going!" lol
Has nothing to do with this
🤔😡🤬
Biggest plane crash and deadliest happened on the ground. 2 planes crashed into each other. Fingers crossed for another one.
Yeah about what I'd expect from the news, lacking information that's easily available. Thinking maybe a news station would have more info then the raw recording but it has less lmao.
Way to go traffic control put people in danger!
….
Thank God I don't have to fly ever again...
Driving is statistically much more dangerous.
good job pete buttijudge
Good to see fedex can’t drive or fly
Cue the Trumplican rubes: BiDeN's aMeRiCa!!😂
well cool it down some, add more buffer to its throughways, remember the boom generation all retired, so these are all new operators. females preferred
It's more of a issue of a lack of modern technology the boomers were allergic to change somehow and managed to hold us back for generations and now that they're retired were going have to do rapid systems upgrade nationwide to get things where they should be.
Diversity in aviation is great isnt it?
Yea this totally never happened in your newspaper getting days has it grandpa?
Is anyone surprised that the air traffic controller is black?
The Jetblue was never cleared to take-off, they were told to line up and wait. Listen to the full radio recording.
Are you mentally retarded?
What I think of when I hear 400 feet is more than a football field
Four if I'm not mistaken. Don't they look both ways before crossing
The takeoff speed for an Embraer ERJ-190 (the JetBlue aircraft) is 126mph. At that speed, it would cover those 400 feet in 2.1 seconds. This incident was near the start of the takeoff, which is why there was no disaster, but airplanes are FAST, which is why 400 feet sounds like a big distance to me and you, but is nothing in aviation terms
Yeah and also. These aircraft requires more space to come to a stop. They cannot come to a stop suddenly. 😊
We desperately need better public transit like bullet trains. Idk how we’re considered a first world country when we lack mass transit
Lakisha almost bit the bullet
Couldn't pass up a golden opportunity to be a faceless RUclips troll with no real-world consequences to spew unnecessary, stereotypical, racist rhetoric, right? Runway incidents have been almost caused- and prevented - by SEVERAL men and women of different skin complexions. Don't behave like some empty-headed, bigoted cornball.
Is this going to be a Joe Biden story of another adventure in the Twilight Zone??? 😂😂😂😂
Biden wil claim next, he used to be an ATC.
"Shortage of air traffic controllers". Meanwhile millennials and Gen Z are whining about layoffs and how there are no jobs.
But at least their DEI numbers are up!
What does DEI have to deal with this?
Let me guess you’re just brainwashed to say this anytime anything goes wrong. Or is it because the tower was a female voice and you are sexist
That ATC lady was thinking about her next nail appointment
@HumanTorch1988Yep... well put .. that’s why institutions and cities that are mostly democrat run now, are all crumbling thx.
@@JayAlba8LOL.. Yep.. (btw .. ever fly into here in Los Angeles? ) your comment is more fact than sarcasm - than you know.
@HumanTorch1988Blatantly bigoted _and_ just corny as fcvk "Joined 4 months ago" account spewing unnecessary, stereotypical, racist rhetoric that violates Community Guidelines in several comments? Thanks for all the ammo. Enjoy permanent suspension.👋
God help us all when the tik tok generation takes over these positions. Maybe A.I. will be our saviors after all.
Love them DEI ( Didn't Earn It) hires.
This is LITERALLY the most racist take you could have.
@@Mogul20478 call it racist all you want. Does not change it from being the truth. And that is your problem.
@@bigmac2752 The one with the problem is the one being quite literally racist. What kind of brain rot do you have to have to conclude that IM the one with the problem? Right wings new favorite buzz word is "DEI" as soon as they discovered it's meaning. Now it's a racist dog whistle to call people of color "Diversity hires" as to suggest they don't have the needed skills to perform their role. If you can prove they are "DEI hires" then you would have a partial point, but you can't even do that.
I got an email about a year ago informing me I was part of a class action lawsuit because I had a 4 year degree in ATC and scored well qualified on the AT-SAT but was rejected by the FAA due to being white male
@@golfkid333 no doubt. But there no such thing as discriminating white people in the USA. Especially against white males. At least that is what they say. Tell me, by chance are you ready for civil war?
Pete Butegeg running traffic CONTROL. Bahahha now you know
