Judy, I do agree with you - however JFK airport has 4 runways. i know his father/mom was with him at all times during this clearance. But what if something went wrong (god Forbid)
You have one aircraft landing, one taking off. It shouldnt have happened - where safety is the main concern here.
Reminds me of an aeroflot pilot who let his son take over the controls at 30000Ft, did anything happen - YES!!
Its safety Judy, thats all I am concerned about.
