Evasive action: Pilot pulls up as another jet crosses runway

The FAA says a JetBlue pilot had to take evasive action while landing at Boston’s Logan International Airport when another aircraft crossed an intersecting runway. The FAA's preliminary review found that the close call occurred at about 7 p.m. Monday when the pilot of a Learjet 60 took off without clearance while the JetBlue flight was preparing to land. An air traffic controller instructed the pilot of the Learjet to wait while the JetBlue flight landed, but it instead began a takeoff roll. The JetBlue pilot initiated a climb-out. The FAA is investigating just how close the jets came.
