Single-engine Cessna pilot pulls evasive maneuver to avoid midair collision with passenger jet

Thank you goes to the Cessna pilot. Actually, both pilots as each saw the other.

Could have been PSA 182 all over again.

Good awareness on the part of the Cessna pilot.

This is when pilots (not just ATC) should be able to pass a phone number to call. _"ATC, please write down a number for you to call after I land. Advise when ready o copy"._
...And then give them an earfull.

Can't wait to see 74 Gear cover this one.

This is the reason that pilots are expected to "see and avoid" whenever possible. Doesn't matter what type of plane you are flying, you have the responsibility to look out the window and avoid other aircraft, flocks of birds, bad weather, etc. No one person in the system is responsible for all aspects of safety, it works when we all are on alert and flying with that type of mentality.

I've watched this several times and don't see a second plane. What am I missing?

[Mercifulkingdom]

That’s absolutely unacceptable putting all those people lives in danger like that

[XxXNyMpHoXxX]

Delta, you need some pilots? Im down to fly.

[christinabe]

heartbreaking for these pilots. My heart and prayers go out to them. I pray that they get what they are looking for.

What's the difference between ATC and a pilot?

When a pilot makes a mistake, the pilot dies.

When ATC makes a mistake, the pilot dies.

How did the media contact him? Or did he look for publicity? He should remain humble and not to look for 5 min fame. Nothing happened so, stop the drama.
