Airline Pilot Central Forums

Why are you even listening to the ground crew at that point?
I used to toggle it off until I finished calling for push.

But that's just me. Never found any captain to be a tool for talking on a freq I wasn't listening to.

Ya know youre right, a CA has never read back a clearance to tug driver incorrectly. You are very smart.

Sorry but if you don’t like CAs dictating their pace, probably should have not went to DAL.

Guess I shoulda went Spirit?

Heck yeah, we are so broke at Spirit, we can’t even pay attention to readbacks.

You would love it, remind you of your Colgan days

You’re wound up pretty tight.

I made a joke about us Spirit pilots being so poor, we can’t pay attention. Low pay, like Colgan. It’s called being able to laugh at yourself. You can’t laugh at yourself and Colgan?

Not everything needs to be a back and forth on these forums where people try to “comeback” at people.

Right. I will never forget that day when we lost those 500 poor souls to a misread pushback clearance. Such a tragedy.

Behavior patterns are real, if you cut corners or rush in one area you are more likely to do it in others as well.
