My favorite JFK controller is back. Just an unpleasant human.
Today at 0700, some helicopter calls and is ignored. Calls back again and the Tower angrily answers "stand by, I'll get to you when I can". Mind you, nobody has made a radio call for 10 seconds when the chopper called. There was a short line for 31L to takeoff, and not a whole lot of landings going on. So, (seemingly) a full minute goes and not a single radio call yet Mr. Controller must be very busy on his smart phone or something since he still hasn't answered the helicopter. Finally somebody else makes a radio call and the controller then calls the chopper back.
Turns out the chopper was trying to report a near miss with a drone, but proving his schwanze was bigger than the pilot's, the controller was obviously too busy to handle that. So he gets around to asking the helicopter pilot where the incident occurred. Man do I wish the chopper pilot would've answered "I'll get back to you when I have a chance..."
