st27 Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 The worst part is that somebody else was in the cockpit with the jerk.....wonder how the rest of the flight went??. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blues deville Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Angry and not making a whole lot of sense. Good combination to have at the controls of an airliner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEFCON Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 A demonstration of a medical problem going undiagnosed perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John S. Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 A demonstration of a medical problem going undiagnosed perhaps?Or maybe he got the American equivalent of getting a second red arrow that morning and then testing positive on the hand-swab and not having ‘reasonable’ answers to the two minutes of questions that followed so it took even longer and then having a rather overweight security person pat him down with enthusiasm, uncomfortable so, and then being told that his bags must be re-screened even though they JUST went through the same screening and then being told to opened the bags so that the insides could be swabbed. Just maybe all the little frustrations of just getting to the cockpit boiled over and he had to let it out. And his choices were at either ATC or the F/O. If THAT was the case then he made a good choice. The F/O would be around a lot longer than the ground guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanishing point Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Just for the record; other than the reference to "Captain Happy" by an unknown participant (no offence to the hard-working FOs out there but easier to say than "First Officer Happy"), there's no markers to this being the Captain actually talking. Around here at Jazz, the FO does most of the talking on the ground whilst watching over the aircraft commander to make sure they don't wander off the beaten path (sort of like in this case).Just sticking up for all the captains out there. FOs can have an "off" day as well but that doesn't condone the behaviour shown by this individual.The controller's chuckle tops it off though.

acsidestick Posted July 31, 2014 Share Posted July 31, 2014 Reminds me of this little story, which is a confirmed myth, but still funny and has a point."This is based on an actual radio conversation between a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier (U.S.S. Abraham Lincoln) and Canadian authorities off the coast of Newfoundland in October, 1995. (The radio conversation was released by the Chief of Naval Operations on 10/10/95 authorized by the Freedom of Information Act.)Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid collision.Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North to avoid a collision.Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision.Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course.Canadians: No, I say again, you divert YOUR course.Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN, THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES' ATLANTIC FLEET. WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH--I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S ONE FIVE DEGREES NORTH--OR COUNTER-MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP.Canadians: This is a lighthouse. Your call." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 Just a thought, but I'm not convinced we are hearing the whole story.Anyone with a computer, an internet connection and some editing skills can put together an audio recording. It sounds to me like plenty of 'cuts', and I'm left wondering if perhaps there was more to it than that. Regardless, talking like that on the radio to anyone is not cool, no matter what the reason.

Johnny Posted August 1, 2014 Share Posted August 1, 2014 You are absolutely right, Canoehead, someone has clipped the recording. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILB Posted August 2, 2014 Share Posted August 2, 2014 It appears that a few transmissions not related to Delta 2422 have been edited out. The LiveATC site has a more complete version...but it too does not appear to give any further context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
