Do you guys see this sort of frequency? Is it increasing due to traffic being up, or pax traffic being the same but there being more planes fulfilling it due to the proliferation of Barbie planes?

Runway incursion, that's *BAD.*
I don't recall ever have experienced that. I can only remember of three go arounds. One in BRU on an LH flight, blamed on traffic control by the crew (no mention of incursion though).
One technical on AC at YEG (never got more of an explanation, but the plane did not continue).
Last one in heavy fog on CP at YYC (they attempted to land two or three times and ended up taking us to Red Deer North).
