Bad day at the office.

Ground controls all taxi ways and off-duty runways. If the pilot does not obey their instructions, it is a violation of FAA rules and regulations.

Captain Happy !

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Well...it is clear that the ATC guy shouldn't have "axed" the pilot anything.

Perhaps if he "asked" him it might have gone better.

[Responsibility2nd]

A-hole attitudes from TSA weirdo’s must be affecting pilots and ATC’s.

[yarddog]

Shouldn’t the pilot do what the controller says unless he knows something is wrong?

I recall landing at Eglin and the plane just rolling and rolling and rolling until it got to the terminal. I wondered if that single plane was using the entire runway system while it was on the ground.

BFD. How is this an “extremely tense exchange” as ABC News billed it? Nobody even dropped an F-bomb.

Roger Murdock: Flight 2-0-9’er, you are cleared for take-off.

Captain Oveur: Roger!

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Tower voice: L.A. departure frequency, 123 point 9’er.

Captain Oveur: Roger!

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Victor Basta: Request vector, over.

Captain Oveur: What?

Tower voice: Flight 2-0-9’er cleared for vector 324.

Roger Murdock: We have clearance, Clarence.

Captain Oveur: Roger, Roger. What’s our vector, Victor?

Tower voice: Tower’s radio clearance, over!

Captain Oveur: That’s Clarence Oveur. Over.

Tower voice: Over.

Captain Oveur: Roger.

Roger Murdock: Huh?

Tower voice: Roger, over!

Roger Murdock: What?

Captain Oveur: Huh?

Victor Basta: Who?

“Hey, you know what? We’ll taxi out there any way we want unless you tell us to. I don’t like your attitude.”

It’s about time the Delta Pilot Union got the pilots’ attitude in line with the rest of the Delta family. He finally sounds like a Delta gate agent.

I was working on a marketing plan to submit to Delta, but for some reason they weren’t too hip on my new campaign, “Delta Hates You.”

1. Talk about making a mountain out of a molehill.

2. The comments from all the losers below the article are hysterical. They can’t stand anyone they think makes a lot of money.

[SkyDancer]

CNN will run this as breaking news 24/7 .....

[gaijin]

Sounds like the ATC didn’t tell the pilot how to get out there.

Sounds like the ATC can’t speak standard English.

[tflabo]

Warms the cackles of the heart as a passenger. Used to like flying but now the experience usually sucketh....

[Gay State Conservative]

Not being a pilot or an air traffic controller I guess I'm in no position to pass judgment here but one would think that it *is* essential for the controllers to give proper instructions and for pilots to obey those instructions.Both are high pressure jobs and pressure sometimes gets to people.

"Hey, you know what? We’ll taxi out there any way we want unless you tell us to. I don’t like your attitude"

We had a Delta Connection flight try to takeoff on the wrong runway - 49 dead, one survivor. Details matter.

[Timber Rattler]

Delta says customer safety was never in question.

Oh really?

Comair crash in Lexington kills 49;plane used wrong runway, NTSB says
