Remember: When the pilot makes a mistake, the pilot dies. When the controller makes a mistake, the pilot dies. Dakota is right. Listen to all clearances and tower traffic. Too many times, when it doesn't start out with our tail number, we tune out of the conversation. I also have a hard time believing this controller, who, I read in another article, has faced disciplinary measures before for not following procedures, has been given another chance to kill someone. I can't believe there aren't ample applicants for those jobs, since they pay fairly well. Especially in this economy.
