UK daily mail saying the incident happened on landing.

'Settle down, Captain Happy': Shocking audio revealed of heated exchange between a Delta pilot and air traffic controller

By Joshua Gardner
03:28 28 Jul 2014
The argument occurred as the pilot landed on the wrong runway at the Atlanta airport

The pilot took offense at what he called the controller's 'bad attitude' over the mistake

Shocking audio of a heated exchange between a Delta pilot and an air traffic controller has flyers wondering just who's in charge of keeping them safe during air travel.

All the more disturbing is the time when moment the argument occurred: just as the pilot was landing the jet at the Atlanta airport on the wrong runway.

'Like, oh my God, there's another plane out there like six miles away,' mocks the pilot.

The 727 could freeze your outboard side on a long flight. One F/O said he was going to cut a black sweater in half vertically and just wear the right side --- saving the left side for when he upgraded.

Default Puerto Rico? Saint Thomas?

Looking at getting away with the family next month for 5-6 days. Kids will, hopefully, have their passports by then but if not, anyone have the gouge on any good deals at either of these? Thanks in advance...DW

We've done PR several times with 2 young kids. Check out Luquillo, about 45 minutes east of SJU. The first time I found a 3BR condo on VRBO. The second time we went down there I got an awesome deal at the Melia on Priceline.

There are several nice public beach (balnearios?) nearby, and some decent places to eat without breaking the bank. Also pretty close to El Yunque rainforest. Another 20 minutes or so to the east near Fajardo you can do a phosphorescent canoe trip at night in a lagoon - pretty cool if your kids are a little older.

No Carl, I think the rule is that since some people hate the jacket and hat so much, it is acceptable to make them look as absolutely awful as possible. Be sure to throw the hat under your car and run over it a few times.. and make sure the jacket is tailored so that it wouldn't have fit correctly 30 pounds ago. THEN.. you'll be in pilot vogue. Short sleeves and earbuds are icing on the cake

True... but it's not off the rack thrift store either.

I'm still on wife number 1. I credit that to how I look in my uniform and layover clothes.

If it's not broke...

Good thing that wasn't in a "duty to retreat" state.
