Delta pilot, Captain Happy, loses it on ATL ground

To be fair, that controller is not exactly the A-team in general (does not push the tin...), but he sure handled that with class. The worst was the guy with the thick Louisiana accent which was terrible to understand, but I haven't heard him in a while.

About as close as I got to losing it on the radio, I murmured something about a "Sisyphean Effort" but that's about it.

Had a maintenance problem, (in my opinion) captain didn't manage the situation very well, dug into our minimum fuel for takeoff in the process, came back to the gate, had the problem rectified, got more fuel, rampers disappeared for almost an hour and we couldn't get pushed back or even external power, APU started burning us into the point where we're going to be below minimum fuel for takeoff, airport shifted around which was going to extend our taxi, got more fuel, still no rampers, tic…toc….tic….toc…
 
I created a new thread because new ones were popping up, with regularity.

"Uh...tell you what, bring it on in Echo 14, in sequence, right side along the grass, hold in between 5 and 6, give way to that mini-Bus comin' out in between the B and C Cons, to the gate."

Keep in mind, the above will be stepped on 3 or 4 times.

Or

"Uh...tell ya what, give way to that Dash comin' off the Line. I got a heavy comin' into the D Con, in sequence, 2 point 8."
