I said should they be fired or lose their certs..... Duffy immediately said those can't listen to ATC will have their certs pulled as an immediate response to the incident. And I know a few pilots at my place jumped in on that train of thought.
The prelim report that came out did say they did look left and right before crossing, but sun blocked the SWA flight. And as I thought they saw 31L as a taxiway and 31C as 31L.
I haven't seen the report but one of the news videos that came out this morning said they didn't acknowledge the first radio call when told to hold short. Very possible they were task saturated and heads down. When I was there on the Challenger fleet the performance data was done manually. You had to input all the info in an app and it would give you the numbers, but then you had to punch them into the FMS and also write them down in a physical TOLD card.
Also curious who was sitting in which seat.
