They better pull flight training records and scrutinize them just as they do with regional pilots. Also, if the Delta pilots mumbled one non-essential word of conversation below 10,000 I hope the public hears that even the great aviators flying for the Majors talk below 10,000 too.
Yup, the taxiway thing could have been another tenerife or worse, put a few 74's and 77's on there and land a 76 on top of them...everybody's worst nightmare.
That being said, the fact that nobody died, this isn't going to be in the media enough for that much action to be taken as was in the colgan incident. Sad to say it but it seems like the media runs the world, because people are stupid enough to believe what they say.
