You haven't taken the time to enlighten this forum how in your opinion that the RT exchange was "mistake".

Demand!?! Moi?

I skipped your deflection, as I don't remember saying it "wasn't" a mistake? Please "enlighten" me on where I stated such?

As I also had to explain to John, the initial reason of my post was to allude to the fact that there might've been things going on "behind the scenes" that none of us, not even 'perfect' you, John & Pharrot knew about.

Overall, I think it was wrong, a mistake, unprofessional and the Capt. obviously had to answer for it. Just not quite sure why we're still dwelling on it almost a year later?

Are you CA Happy?

I didn't need ANYTHING "explained" to me. I simply posted it because 1) It's funny and 2) ground controllers were the flavor du jour at the time.

It was simply that it's a "two way street" between pilots and controllers for TOTD purposes.

Do you need that explained to you?

Oh Elliot. Stop the drama. Just consider it a blast from the past and move on. Lordy!

You could probably take the same advice, Pherret? For someone who posts something from a year ago!

I'll remember that Pherret & Carr have NEVER made a mistake. Check!

No, suck it up and realize you 'Richarded' it up in the internet age, go home and don't let it happen again.

If I was a Chief, I'd play the tape, ask about and explain that I understand any external problems and offer total support, get reassurance that **** just happens once every 20 years, play a round of office golf with the cheap putter and trap, buy the guy lunch and go home to chase the Mrs. at 5pm.

I haven't seen the Chief Pilot interview invite .

Sorry about slicing your subclavian artery, and that massive hemorrhage. I had some personal stresses at home with my kids and a stressful commute, and I missed my coffee and the "Early Show" was not to my liking.

And YOU'VE made a mistake once in your life so you thus can't talk about my inadequate professionalism. Now let me go and chew out your wife for missing a dose of her medication.


Yeah, it doesn't work in my field either. I am always surprised when the peanut gallery comes to defend the low performance of others. Telling.
