if cactus is asking an engineer to come look and not the whole ass fire department, ain't it possible it's still on the apron and some dumb shit happened while he was waiting for taxi clearance? he didn't mention anything about descent clearance either so idk man, sounds like he's on the ground to me
This makes no sense on a workload standpoint, essentially running an aircraft in circles instead of moving traffic out of the way. The aggressiveness of the controller made my blood curl. Kudos to the Shamrock pilot for remaining cool and making it clear that wasn’t the end of it
...I know I'm late to this video, but based on this video/radar, the shannon tower atc? can talk to airplanes near dublin (ok more like meath or westmeath) too?? Like I know a flight between the two airports is short but I didn't think the tower frequency could reach that far XD
When future NY controllers are told in training they'll be working in one of the busiest airspaces in the world (which I imagine they _are_ told), this seems to have an ego-boosting rather than a humbling effect on them.
So he got the info late bc he was ignoring her - by getting the same info from ground crew - and complains she was late even though he got the exact same info at the exact same time? Cpt Tool is right!
New Yorkers are a fickle bunch. Very aggressive. But very smart. They do not waste time. America's finest usually come out of or end up in New York. That is just a fact. ATC's are grossly underpaid.
The BA pilots are the worst for getting into it with the ATC, and I really don't know why. In this instance, the poor ATC was beyond swamped. The BA pilot had to know this, but he just kept at her over and over until she cut him off, saying she wasn't going to argue this on frequency. Then, the self-important BA pilot says he's going to make a report against the ATC who's still trying to get him off the frequency. He says it's a safety report, which is unbelievable because he was the one distracting her on a very busy day. I'm sure that the pilot's complaint will be filed in the appropriate filing cabinet.....the round one under the desk. Sending a big shout out to the Air Lingus pilot who gave an appropriate response to the BA pilot, "Wow" 🤣😂🤣👍🏻😁❤️
Cut BA some slack, he didn’t hear ATC and although we can assume he wasn’t listening we don’t know why he didn’t hear. BA has dealt with the situation as he saw / heard it, as for the SR he *May* be mandated to do that by his employer BUT personally I’d have saved myself all that extra work.
