Jeeesus ! Controllers and Pilots are taking good Safety decisons and passengers think it is dangerous ? I think some here should take the train...

Frankfurt: with the introduction of the 3rd runway , the 2 "old" ones are used simousteanously , one for take off one for landing, in case of go around, it is absolutely normal and safe for the dep controller to cancel a take off clearance on the other . That is the opposite that would be very dangerous. ( as it happenned last year Incident: Lufthansa A388 and Aeroflot A320 at Frankfurt on Dec 13th 2011, loss of separation


Procedures too tight ? try Boston and their "land and hold short" one.
