ATL Tower Controllers are Upset With Me

[erj-145mech]

I was taxiing slowly at SAT one time and the ground controller asked me to speed up my rate, SWA behind me. I knew that I wasn't going to taxi at his rate, so I keyed the mike and said, "Are you requesting that I operate this aircraft in a reckless and unsafe manner".

His reply: disregard.

Good thing, not going around was not an option.

No, good thing, going around was not an option.

Nevermind, anybody know what I'm talking about? Probably not.

That was a classic. At least the landing was a greaser...

I think she was fired and had all her certificates pulled, needed a 409 ride to get them back.

Anyone know where she's at now?

Is that the ride you take to clean up your record?

but wait the airplane wasn't on the ramp broken at ROA if you know the story - it flew out the next morning

That's right. I remember that now. Where did they fly it to from ROA? I know I say that airplane sitting somewhere and being told it was the Roanoke airplane.

We do not mess with flow control or the landing order, once we are off the runway we only taxi safe. We also do not mess with or want to burden any other airline. The controllers in ATL are the best and they understand.

DFW ATC is better.

I raced Bushwick Bill for 250.00 once and beat him; gave him 3 and the move. Nice guys those Ghetto Boys are.
