tough place to work - spent a day in the tower years ago.....scary.... crossing runways are a safety nightmare. At least in SFO, there's only one tower controller and he/she can see it all.... much different in Chicago

Tks, for the link. Better than the story. Kudo's to the pilots for the heads up. I know we are supposed to listen to our controllers, BUT, we are flying the plane.
They really don't need to look at write ups or reports. All they need to do is just sit there and watch for a day or 2. "Sorry bout that" is kinda like a good landing, one you walk away from. It was close but they made it. Sounds like the Pilot got a little irritated too.LOL
