he's done already...yup, i did hear him. he has a good radio voice.
<-- never heard it before
apparently, he was the flying pilot (i was wrong, i thought he was doing radio up till final but that was the other FO). but he says he always does ground at JFK (dunno why yet).
ok.. two questions
what's it mean when they say "we have zulu"? are they talking about taxiway Z?
what does it mean when they say "squawk 2303" or some type of squawk?

"We have zulu" is the from the automatic terminal information service which give weather info and airport information like closed taxiways, or other pertinant information.
The squawk code is something they put into a box that tells the radar that they are that special aircraft.
no, he's the FP... but he will be comm on ground though.
what's information zulu? their flight plan information?

My guess is tower... they're waiting for takeoff now, not clearance. should be getting the word anytime now.
just heard a woman pilot on a korean air....i didn't know they had women pilots flying for them. that's pretty cool!
uh.. altho flightaware is showing they'd already taken off... hmmmm....so JFK tower doesn't do takeoff, just landings? who does takeoffs?
edit: just once...i think i have to listen to NY Departure in order to hear the takeoffs etc...i'm learning new stuff all the fricken time
