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.

According to what little we see here, the pilot is complaining that he didn’t receive detailed enough instruction. He had his plates to follow. Ground gets really busy and they expect the pilots to keep up. I have taxi'd at some exceptionally busy airfields and have know what to do every time.

Sounds like the ATC didn’t tell the pilot how to get out there.
Sounds like the ATC can’t speak standard English.

Have you attended college lately?
You think those grad student teachers’ assistants, that the average undergrad is stuck with, speak standard English?

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.

You tell your old man to try carrying Walton and Lanier around on his back for 48 minutes!

“According to what little we see here, the pilot is complaining that he didn’t receive detailed enough instruction.”
Sounds like the pilot goofed and turned down the wrong taxiway.
To: gaijin
“Sounds like the ATC didn’t tell the pilot how to get out there.”
The pilot has an airport map. If he was told to use taxiway ‘Mike’ he should know how to get their.
Lima is the taxiway next to the ramps. Mike is the second one. DUH! They are also marked so if he turned down Lima he was not watching where he was going.

"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.

CNN will run this as breaking news 24/7 ..... From a rented airplane simulator no less, with the reporter describing what it must be like to blow a gasket in the cockpit.

I was on a plane in ‘12 that had to pull out on final approach due to an event that looked just like that.

Some fat potbellied reporter with his tie askew, hat on backward (contrary to popular images, pilots do not wear their hats while flying) ...

Question:
How are an ATC and pilot the same?
Answer:
If the pilot is wrong, the pilot dies.
If the ATC is wrong, the pilot dies.
