Speaking of less bizarro things then the Vegas RTO, how about this number...
Incident: United B738 and Expressjet E145 at Newark on Apr 24th 2014, near collision close to ground
By Simon Hradecky, created Friday, Apr 25th 2014 14:32Z, last updated Friday, Apr 25th 2014 19:48Z
A United Boeing 737-800, registration N77520 performing flight UA-1243 from San Francisco,CA to Newark,NJ (USA), was on final approach to Newark's runway 29 descending through about 400 feet AGL at about 15:02L (19:02Z).
An Expressjet Embraer ERJ-145 on behalf of United, registration N11176 performing flight EV-4100/UA-4100 from Newark,NJ to Memphis,TN (USA), was rotating for takeoff from runway 04R at the same time.
At that point tower instructed UA-1243 to go around and instructed EV-4100 to maintain visual separation to the traffic to their right. The Embraer crew stopped the climb close to ground reporting they "took the nose down" and "he is real close" restating upon hand off to departure "it was really close".
The Boeing positioned for another approach and landed safely at Newark about 11 minutes later. The Embraer reached Memphis without further incident for a safe landing there, too.
The FAA opened an investigation into the possible loss of separation erroneously stating flight UA-29 was involved.
On Apr 25th 2014 the NTSB opened their investigation into the loss of separation incident at Newark.

Usually they are out in 5 or 10 minutes...
no, 5-10 hours...
no wait, I meant 5-10 days!
But seriously, since it's closing on a non-holiday Monday, they should be out sometime between Weds.-Friday, depending on how much backfilling they decide to do, and how many guys fkd up their bids and have to be called, to be asked, "Did you really mean to bid that??"
Just like with our PBS monthly bids, the computer can spit it out in about 10 minutes, then it takes a few days for the humans to look it over and tweak it, un-fk it, re-run it, etc. and then finally publish it.

Recently, they've been out the next day. This is a big bid and, going into heavy summer flying, like Timbo said, they will run various scenarios of backfilling and then DALPA will QC it...my money says close of business Thursday at the earliest.
