You know, for the demand that would never exist if we weren’t subsidizing the brand new datacenters.
It’s a complete scam.
I have to quibble with that a bit. An ATC clearance has no impact on right of way. IFR flights in VMC are still required to see and avoid.
True that landing aircraft has right of way, although I’m not aware of any interpretation that simply being cleared for or on an approach is enough… unless you’re on the final approach segment you aren’t really “landing” yet. (I have no idea if that was the case here or not).
