   Air traffic control is being gutted along with everything else in the US. Another near miss, after multiple incidents, accidents, and deaths.

   I guess I won't be at GDC for a while 🫣

     @jackeric I'm not accusing the people that are working. It seems to me with all the checks and balances in place this shouldn't be an issue, and with the layoffs resulting in multiple incidents, it's probably a management issue resulting from even before the incident.

     @selzero tbf listening to the audio, I'm not sure what more could be done here. The ground controller told the plane to hold short of the runway. The pilot read back something else entirely and the controller corrected him. The pilot read back the correct clearance... and then went straight over the runway. Not sure what else the controller can do here!

     @jackeric I'm guessing there is going to be a lot to wonder about 😔

     @selzero I do wonder why they've not instituted a rule to taxi via W N R instead of A F 4L when runway 31C is being used for landing
