He is well aware of what type of radios are used, thanks. I am just puzzled as to what you are trying to get across.

The idiot pilot had his mike on continually, which blocked the ability for the ATC to reply to him. Within a certain range, no other pilots were able to communicate with the tower on that frequency. You said that wasn't true then said the ATC wasn't lying. So I'm still unsure if you agree with that or not.

Then you seemed to be attacking the other pilots for saying they were not the ones who had just endangered others with the rant.

Then you decided to school me in two way radio systems, which I can assure you I am familiar with. They are not like a land line telephone where you can talk while someone else is talking - you depress a button to talk, release to clear. Correct?

No. I expressed my opinion as to what this is REALLY about and you just don’t want to “get it”.

I attacked no one other than this reporter.

I doubt, very seriously, that you understand the FAA’s communication system at all. In fact, I doubt that many of the folks who work there fully understand it but that is and has been beside the point.

To repeat myself, this kind of thing happens ALL the time and in many different areas of society. In this case the reporter either heard the transmission on his scanner or was tipped of that it had occurred by one of his friends and used it to maximum effect to further his career.
