Continental pilot tells American ATC to speak English

Featured Replies

I couldn't get that video to play, but I found it on Youtube.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4SL5woA-jAQuite unnecessary for the Pilot to make such a big deal out of it. I did think at one point perhaps he was joking, but the sincerity in his voice tells me otherwisee.

Sounds like to me the peelot just unhappy with his career choice. The controller (I think his name is John or "Boston John") kept a happy attitude about him, though.I'm always amazed at the rudeness of ATC and/orPilots. Last week on the way to Kitty Hawk I filed instruments to get around some storms and restricted areas. A friend and I chuckled at a Raleigh controller who apparently had a chip on his shoulder, telling me he was a little busy to deal with me in a not so diplomatic way; of course he HAD to. :( I make it a habit to at least say "good evening" when talking to the guys.

Please, we don't need any replies here as absolutely ignorant as those posted in response to the youTube audio file.

Who's that directed at? Or is that a preemptive hush? How about we leave content control to the moderators. :(I must agree Youtube is a sort of haven for nincompoops.

I always make sure I say "Thanks for your help" to all the controllers I talk to. I've only had one bad experience with a controller and that was the other day when I said I'll wave the wake turbulence delay. I guess it was a heavy and he wasn't to happy that I tried waving that.

No one in particular, which should be self-evident since I didn't quote anyone. It was a preemptive reminder for everyone to keep their replies at least at a more mature level than the "nincompoops" elsewhere... :( If everyone would "self-moderate" there'd be no real need for official moderators... :(
