Yesterday afternoon I flew into ORD to once again be amazed by our CR7 wonder pilots from MESA.
After clearing 22R we were told to cross 27R due to landing traffic. Well, there was one problem, Mesa CR7 was blocking the entrance to United's ramp and the main taxiway to the east.
Ground was having a fit and was trying everything in the book but light gun signals to hail the CR7. Finally after what seemed like 5 mins.. We heard "Shuttlecraft are u there"?????
"Ord ground to Shuttlecraft" "This is Shuttlecraft????"
"Ground... Shuttlecraft where are u guys from??? And who taught u how to taxi around the airport?? FYI you just blocked 4 airplanes and made a AA MD-80 go around. I suggest you call ur company and send a memo to your pilots to get a clue otherwise don't bother coming into ORD again! U guys are messing up the operations"
The Mesa CR7 asked for a progressive taxi to their gate and there was a new controler on the ground freq.
This was a ORD ground controler I would like to shake hands with!! So the lesson is if you are taxing around ORD make sure you stay clear of the shuttlecraft Cr7's they are dangerous out there...
Kinda made my day from laughing so hard at these guys. Thank god the ORD controllers are the best in the business.
