Earlier this morning at Midway Airport in Chicago a near miss occurred between a landing Southwest Airlines aircraft, N8517F as SWA2504, and a private jet, N560FX as LXJ560. As SWA2504 is coming into land, LXJ560 taxis across the runway forcing SWA2504 into a go around just feet from the ground. - ThreadSky

The business (oligarch) jet pilot fucked up.

DEI? Or too many layoffs at FAA?

I'm sure the problem can be solved by DOGE firing some more FAA employees.

As annoying as southwest pilots can be a lot of them are former military and it shows

liveatc recording. The relevant portion is from about 17:00 to 20:26 with a possible pilot deviation request to telephone the tower.

ATC error or was the private jet not where he was supposed to be? The radio traffic will be interesting.

kuruluv.bsky.social•7 days ago
