PHL ATC.... professionalism??

Go to 26 minutes and listen to UPS 218's clearance to 12,000. Then go to 29 minutes for the controller to get all snarky. Dropping the f-bomb on the radio... nice!

Pretty sure the F bomb was because of stuck mic. But yeah, not defending the controller at all...f******ing idiot.

It's Philly.

MY EARS!!!!!!!!!!

If you're going to drop the F bomb directed at somebody, better make sure the mic isn't keyed up.

Every other word controllers say is an f bomb. One of them is going to slip through onto the radio eventually.

Honestly "effing idiot" is pretty polite compared to the usual terms used for pilots after we unclick

 

[mshunter]

Big deal.

So what.

(about the f-bombs)

FIFY

I'm impressed with controllers. I would lose my cool with the foreign carriers in lax/NY.

Freight never gets any respect.

Definitely a stuck mic! Pretty ironic calling someone a f-ing idiot for doing exactly what you told them to do, haha.

Just tell 'em to pull the tapes and ask for a phone number.

As one on the radio at a 911 Center ... kinda' "yawn. "

Sometimes stuff goes out, unintentionally, over an open mic. Rarely, it's intended for a jerk.

We try, on both sides, but there ARE the occasional slips/bad moments.

Not speaking for anyone else, but I'll be perfect when I'm dead. Until then there might be a faux pas from time-to-time, on both sides of the mic.

Why do we care when someone swears on the radio? It's not like young children are buzzing around in the cockpit. I'm sure people swear all the time in offices all around America.

I guess if you're gonna call someone else an effing idiot, you should make sure you're not one yourself. Except, in this case, she was. I'm not offended by her language, I'm offended by her incompetency.

I gave a guy a clearance into TEB with "6 miles from DANDY turn left 090 etc..." and instead of reading back or bothering to turn he chips in all pissed off sounding "we're not 6 miles from DANDY we're 2 miles from VINGS!" So I just calmly replied, "yes sir, and VINGS is 4 miles from DANDY."
