Just curious... but doesn't the DEN CP have more pressing issues than to monitor a ramp freq all day? Not saying guys should be rude on the radio but to be concerned about the CP listening in to ramp communications seems excessive.

Yeah... I was thinking maybe it was just a coincidence that it was overheard and not a normal, daily thing?

Ramp records everything, and more than likely gave the CPO the recording of the“offensive” radio call.

If ramp didn’t suck then I think radio transmission tone would be a self-correcting problem lol.

If it’s busy it’s busy but I have heard her get apperplectic when there were 2 airplanes taxing LoL. She is a piece of work for sure.

Makes sense.
