Was he on the runway?
Maybe his becon was deferred didn't remember seeing that. Then again we couldn't see much...because he had his god damn strobes on...and he couldn't hear aircraft asking him to check his strobes because he was policing Gauurd:) |

If it were me and many of us on here with MEL'd beacon lighting I would assume some humanity would prevail with an apology over the airwaves.
So three possible scenarios... - woefully unaware of both lights on and radio calls - chose to remain silent after several calls over frequency about his own aircraft - purposely upset and blinded all around him Sorry but all signs point to either a disturbed, rude or neglectful pilot. Yes he is a tool. |

Just cause a guy has his strobes on doesn't mean you have to stare at em.
I probably should have just taken a nap. |

Just to be clear:
taxiing around with strobes on because you forgot: semi-toolish, but it happens. On/crossing a runway with strobes on: excellent idea, and usually complies with company procedures. Complaining on an Internet forum about someone on a runway/crossing a runway with their strobes on: TOTD |
Ok, but when JFK is departing 22R, they love to back up 13L full of traffic. So yeah, if there are other planes all lined up on a runway, turn the strobes off. You're not crossing the runway, you're on the runway with a dozen other planes basically all parked.

Im gonna file accidentally leaving the strobes on as not toolish.
I nominate myself as the tool of the decade. Not long ago there was a long line up in DTW and I was listening to ground frequency, running checklists, and responding to messages from dispatch. With all that going on I forgot to switch to tower. We got to number one and I could hear the tower shouting at us from across the cab as heard as background noise from ground frequency. Hurr durr sorry everyone! |

Ahhh. More to the story. When JFK is using the perpindicular runway for departure storage it would be aggravating to have strobes flashing in my eyes for a long period of time. So upon further review with the new evidence admitted they are found to be guilty. Toolish behavior indeed. Turn them on when on the active though fellas. Even in CLT - the location for the international school of radio tools.
