Angry Delta pilot

[Clutch]

I would give the Capt. a chance to explain himself. Maybe he's going through a divorce, and the delayed CLT roundtrip was preventing him from getting back home earlier to try and salvage a marriage? Or he lost a family member?

Maybe some compassion to see if the guy is going through some difficult events in his personal life?

Either way, I'm sure he's already learned some valuable lessons.

Maybe he's just another a%shole.

Sounds like on the initial call for taxi it's a different voice but hard to tell. The controller did say taxi "M". (51 sec mark)
Full audio.

I think suuummmbody clepped out of the psyche eval during the interview process. I wonder if he's an FFDO?

A Delta pilot who woke up on the wrong side of the world. The controller was cool, calm, and collected!

That is inexcusable and embarrassing.

Hopefully the CP will put it into terms that will make him and all of us think twice.

Ops normal at DL. Many hotheads- this one blew his cover.

Maybe he and Mr. Carolina in my mind should get together and open up a flight school.

 

[scoreboardII]

fishy, sure sounds like a different voice.

Every airline
unfortunately

has at least one!

This has been noticed by DAL CPO.....

The captain can (and probably will be) violated for sterile cockpit...we had a guy several years ago with a stuck mike get violated for talking...I'm sure the kindler gentler FAA will say that yelling at the controller was not safety of flight related...poor FO...

You talking about GGG? How's that knob doing these days?
