saw the story air, it was on wednesday. He repeated a couple of times that he was declaring an emergency and that he needed to land on 16C or whatever it is regardless of the wind. He stated they had a fuel emergency , but none the less it was an emergency.

i would have told that controller that i was going to stick the nose of my 757 up his A$$........
old quote i heard from a DAL Captain : "Am I up here because your'e down there or is it the other way around?"

"We need to declare an emergency" were his exact words. Im amazed that on a forum for airline pilots we can't even all agree the controller screwed up. The captain declared an emergency and got dicked around. That should NEVER happen. Can we all agree on that?
