I tell ya, these Airbus vs Boeing battles for supremacy are getting pretty bad if we now have planes arm wrestling.
Two minute penalty for interference.
Or career ender for ground controller...Or pilot not following instructions.....Somebody is going to pay...

There goes that shiny new paint job.
EWR and other similarly configured places, that are holdovers from the earliest days of commercial aviation, need to be sunsetted as part of a major investment in national infrastructure to result in a safer, more efficient airspace system.
The NYC shared airspace (EWR, JFK, LGA) is a disaster waiting to happen. UA should move its East Coast intercontinental / fortress hub to IAD (with three active runways) and less shared airspace. As it exists now, with three antiquated airports, NYC should be at the tip of a spoke, NOT a premier hub. It is old, inefficient, badly run, and maintained, and generally not safe.
Yes, there are incursions and near ground/air collisions every day.....Sure
