An Etihad 787 taxied onto an active runway at Boston Logan after correctly reading back a hold short instruction, forcing a Republic Airways jet to go around.

Now I want to hear the (in)famous JFK controller going off on this one...

It would be unprofessional and muck up stuff, but I'm imagining the ATC equivalent of Daffy Duck's rant in Blooper Bunny.

More bad 'PR' for Etihad... (It's a shame they won't hear about any of this in the UAE... *wink*)

Not every day you hear Bostonians being complimented on being polite and professional

Interesting. There sure have been a lot of near misses and other mishaps happening this year. What’s next? The year still has over two full months left.

Don't worry, they won't even hear about it with OMAAT blocked in the UAE.
