What is going on @rockthecountry Bloomingdale, GA? Been sitting in the same place for and hour and a half and no one is still moving out of the parking lot.
Thank God for TCAS! What the hell is going on with ATC?
This close call on Nashville on Saturday was ugly!! The aircraft targets merged and were only separated by 300’.
How many more people must die before the FAA fixes this?
Controllers are far too underpaid and overworked
@60Minutes@BoyCrazyMama The FAA is a mess. This isn’t to blame any one Presidential administration over another. It’s been a mess since its inception. We are now seeing the results of decades of mismanagement and neglect. People always have to die to get attention. Unfortunately it will keep happening.
@rwyrachel DPD needs to arrest more people at the airport. Our society has devolved to people thinking they can treat other people like trash and get away with it. Especially airlines employees. They feel some sort of entitlement because they bought an airplane ticket.
@thenewarea51 Nope mistook our military airport for the civilian airport 5 miles south with the same runway configuration landed without clearance without noticing light gun signals, calls on guard, or the dozens of military aircraft on the ramp.
@thenewarea51 After a few minutes, the training a/c requested a vector to intercept. The AV8Bs “bracketed” the little guy with a high speed pass. He suddenly was able to talk on guard. We gave him an immediate vector to clear the area. Yup, and a number to call.
@thenewarea51 Had a similar situation in the 90s with w civilian aircraft that entered a restricted area that was in use for air to air combat training.
As the aircraft continued into the area I had advised the training aircraft of the situation and to suspend the training.
