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

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.
LOL wow, the authority worshippers actually managed to one up the hysterical insanity of our drive by media with an aviation story. Good show!

Doubt it would have gotten nearly as much attention had the poster not gone and found the clip to put here on APC (originally a different thread).

I'm with tsquare on this one guys. During the season where the jacket is required, I long sleeve it and try to keep the weight off so the buttons don't look like they're pulling 9 G's.

Since this uniform is basically a Navy uniform, I have to ask. When you Navy guys wore your double breasted jackets, do you have short sleeve shirts underneath?

So who has been extra nice to their air traffic controllers this weekend?

Me.

"Okay, Delta 1521 switching to 126.42, and you know what, I hope you really have a great day. Thanks so much for the next frequency. Thanks. Thanks so much."
