Above… now that’s an airplane!

“The other RJ” would have more than sufficed. We are flying RJs, and trying not to hit other RJs. “Thanks for your help on the pushback, sorry if a bit slow, just being cautious”

I wonder if the FO went off the reservation or if that was the tone from both pilots.

perhaps the CA wanted the number to apologize for an over zealous FO. I will give benefit of doubt that was the reason requesting a number.
