Oh Delta XXVI - Delta pilot calls controller an idiot

I’ve gotten to the point where I try to monitor guard until I hear the first nonsense and then it’s off for the rest of the flight. I’m not sure if I’ve gotten off the ground with it monitored once this month.

That’s been one of my favorite parts of transitioning to a late night flying schedule. The cats go to sleep once the sun goes down. Just blissful silence, broken only by Center waking me up 100 miles past TOD.

I think it was a figure of speech. Who listens to ATIS anymore? :)

“Anywhere Approach, ZoomyJet 42, descending out of two-seven-zero on the Get Me In Arrival with Kilo, requesting runway one-right.”

“Roger. Anywhere is landing one-right, confirm you have kilo.”

It’s supposedly an old freight dawg trick. I never did it, but I’m sure people tried it.

All good! You know it’s be more convenience than digging through a bunch of drop down menus on the 350.

The interface is “Rebirth of Apple Lisa” sometimes.

(LOOK IT UP Gen Z! Wikipedia broke? :))

Between the shenanigans on guard and the 5% of controllers out there (everywhere has the 5%) I just assume that foreign pilots loathe flying to the US. We were headed to Philly last week and Discover was looking for a frequency on guard. Some jack___ kept saying “you’re on guard”. To the point where this German voice comes back and says “I know I’m on guard”.

It seems east coast pilots and controllers in the east coast need a tune up. Just on that side a couple days ago and it’s nearly impossible to monitor guard. Why is the west coast much better in guard etiquette?
