Learjet departs Logan International despite lack of clearance
Learjet created a "close call" and JetBlue flight had to abort landing and take evasive action as Learjet takes off on intersecting runway. (www.foxbusiness.com) Más...Sort type: [Top] [Newest]
Back in the day, you could have lost your license for doing that.
Where is Indiana Jones?
Uhhhhhh, flying the Lear???
Just a thought...is "Line up and wait" as forceful as the former" Position and hold"?
The former phrase seems to use words that emphasize one another: Position/Hold. Both indicate non-movement.

+1... Position and Hold is far more emphatic. Line up and wait sounds more like a taxiway instruction.
I never fully understood why we changed that phraseology. It seemed like a not broken don't fix moment that was violated.
It was an ICAO thing. "Line up and wait" has been the international standard for a long time evidently and someone decided for standardization (taxi and runway signs and names were also changed to ICAO standards a long time ago) that the US standard should be the same as all the other ICAO member countries. ORD use to have some interesting taxiway names in the old days.
