What: Republic/Frontier Airlines Embraer ERJ-190 en route from Omaha,NE to Denver,CO
What: Skywest Airlines Canadair CRJ-200, flight OO-6764 from Lincoln,NE to Denver,CO
On Nov. 23 at 7 a.m. the two jets were approaching Denver, flying parallel to each other. The Frontier Jet was supposed to line up with a string of planes following Skywest.
Controllers gave the Frontier jet an incorrect heading and they made a u turn that put them in a collision path, a mile-and-a-half away and 200 feet above and closing fast
Collision avoidance systems engaged aboard the jets, forcing the pilots into evasive maneuvers. The FAA is, of course, investigating.

"Here is something they just made up, near miss! It's a near hit, a collision is a near miss!"

Here is the rest of it if anyone wishes to finish the skit:

Edit: PS the entire skit is brilliant. If you are a pilot and you have not heard this, take 15 minutes. Moderators: Sorry, I couldn't find a bleeped out version, hope you don't mind.
