Third, new, incident in new post below.
SYD has a long history of near misses on the ground. The worst two that come to mind were:
Standing down the two staff is purely a kneejerk Look at us we are doing something.
The ATSB reports will be most interesting and hopefully will contain the Risk Analysis done before stripping SYD of staff, IF one was even done.

SYD has a long history of near misses on the ground. The worst two that come to mind were:
- A KLM 747 was cleared to land on a runway that had a stationary vehicle on it at night. The KLM crew knew that SYD was problematic so were paying close attention to the runway and aborted.
- An Ansett A320 was cleared to land on a runway that intersected the runway where a ?? Airlines DC-10 was landing while a Qantas 747 was backtracking on the runway parallel to the landing DC-10. Fortunately, again, the AN crew knew that SYD was problematic so aborted but even so the A320 cleared the DC-10 by less than 10m/30ft. The QF crew also knew that SYD was problematic so were paying close attention, saw the situation and used maximum thrust reverse to back away from the potential debris field.
Standing down the two staff is purely a kneejerk Look at us we are doing something.
The ATSB reports will be most interesting and hopefully will contain the Risk Analysis done before stripping SYD of staff, IF one was even done.
Two airport workers stood down after near miss at Sydney airport
A Jetstar A320 was forced to brake suddenly to avoid colliding with a Boeing 777 on the tarmac at Sydney Airport, with both planes stopping abruptly in an incident that injured a cabin crew worker.
