Austin Incident

[bravoindia]

I think it was the SWA pilot’s fault. Took almost 90 seconds to roll after being told FDX was on a 3 mile final.

4 mile final, jet arrival jet departure, like types is about the minimum. Not to mention 2 increasing to 3, and it’s almost a 0/0 takeoff. This is one of the worst deals in FAA history and I’m sure the atsap will protect this travesty.

Was it all combined up? In before they require cic and everything split all the time

It was 630 in the am local, facility sop says it can be combined up that early so it probably was.

He told aircraft to contact ground…..

Could have been a brain fart, rote memorization leaking out after the realization hits that you almost killed 150 plus people

I heard he isn’t working til this evening if at all today so his 24 hour window is already gone if he didn’t already do an ATSAP. So ? him.

Why do you guys think he didn’t do one?

I’ve no idea if he did or not - not even speculating that he didn’t itself. Just saying that if he didn’t do one, it’s too late already.

oof. Worst attempt at 2 increasing to 3 we'll ever see. Probly be seeing this in an eLMS this summer..

 

[Smitty]

Should someone this dumb be controlling live traffic going forward?

 

[Move78]

This guy needs a security check, only AlQaeda gives that takeoff clearance.

Probably not. Best promote him.

2 feet increasing to 3 am I right?

Not a shred of urgency. Hopefully he’s shamed into resigning.

 

[slater]

Me waiting to hear southwest being told to maintain 2,000 traffic above level 3,000 and never was. ?‍♂️

 

[Move78]

Traffic departing during your arrival is a seven thirty seven

Does anyone know what altitude SWA is released to. He has the FedEx climb to 3 but I never hear the southwest stopped at 2. Prolly should climb the FedEx to like 100 so he can GTFO but I’m not a tower controller

This should be Pete Bootycheeks on Monday!
