Ya know. This blows my mind. What's the big freaking deal? The ATC guy was telling his kid EXACTLY what to say. WHO CARES???!!!

Is this really any different then when I was an RJ CA, & had to babysit 250 hour wonder FO's?


The FAA doesn't have any problems with that. Do people not think there was a supervisor hanging around? Do people not think he was right there to correct anything? As usual, the media blows things way out of proportion.

I bet you if we told them this would lead to cheaper airfares they'd have no problem with it at all.
