With the movement in the industry, there's probably TWO guys up front screwing with their iPhones when they should be paying attention.
Oh Lufthansa….or Oh SFO controllers?

Whoops, I forgot that EAT is just navy lingo. "Expected Approach Time", one of the things they read to you whilst holding in Marshall prior to commencing a night/case 3(IMC) recovery. Yes, similar to EFC, i.e. when you would normally expect to leave holding, however perhaps a nuanced difference in what happens after, depending on circumstance. Your last comment isF'ing pilots, man
"Where's the captain?"
"Said something about hitting the biffy after his dance with gedunk went bad? I have no idea, maybe he's having a stroke?"

I was listening to SFO LiveATC whilst studying (will be based there 
). And twice heard the sequence “air carrier 69420 responding to an RA” “air carrier 69420 low altitude alert, altimeter 29.69” “air carrier 69420 we won’t be stabilized, going around”.
Is this #justsfothings or did this have to do with the weather or flow last night?

I think on one of the flows a VFR corridor below the B goes under the final and can cause an RA under the “right” circumstances
At PHX, we have a two helicopter transition areas on each side of the final approach areas, east/west and 101 freeway/35th Ave transition areas that are each pretty wide. Even with helos at 500 AGL per the LOA in these transitions, the airliners passing overhead seem pretty close if one is transitioning on the inner limits of the transition areas.

Correct, San Mateo Bridge area is a common VFR corridor between SQL and OAK. Can definitely set off RAs under the right circumstances.
However today SFO and OAK were in West Flow and SJC was in Southeast Flow landing on the 12s, so you had norcal bringing in all the SJC arrivals on the right downwind 1000 below the SFO runway 28L arrivals. So it’s anybody’s guess.

What it sounded like was they were getting an increase descent RA which was then triggering a low altitude alert from towerCorrect, San Mateo Bridge area is a common VFR corridor between SQL and OAK. Can definitely set off RAs under the right circumstances.

IDK tho I’m just trying anything to give me a leg up until I can get back to flying the strip between ANC and PDX
