So.... eight calls to GA and still they landed safely with the previous vacated. Little premature on the GA instruction maybe?
Tower said GA. Tower did not give a reason.

The aircraft had no idea why they were being told to GA.

What if it was FOD from the previous landing?

EDIT: I just listened to the ATC recording again. I think I figured it out, not once in the 8 times tower said GA, was there a "please".....

after all ATC only issues 'requests'....

FAA investigates another Air Canada landing mix-up at SFO

The official Air Canada twitter account initially sent a tweet to this reporter after a story about the incident first appeared online, appearing confused about what had happened.

AC twitter reads PPRUNE!
