But, in one instance I watched the argument go for a full
“leg” (about 2 hours block time).
After landing, it continued while we exchanged pax (on a hard stand).
Then it continued as we taxied out. After take-off the tower politely said “Goodbye XXX, next time please ask for takeoff clearnce”. A lot of silence in the cockpit.
True story, but, it happened in a part of the world that was far, far away from the FAA.
No damage, no foul. s/off
Yikes, I don't think tower controllers should be polite about that sort of thing. Did this happen before or after Tenerife?
LOL
Flyers always have such funny - scary stories.
Almost as good as sailors (civi sailboat types)
Thanks for sharing!
