John Pennekamp said:I was blasted by a Comair -700 once, and pretended to key the mike, but keyed the intercom. I said "Thanks for the blow job, Comair, that's the second time you f---ed us". My FO thought I transmitted and almost died.

Atlanta, a thunderstorm overhead, every ramp is closed because of lightning, everyone who has starteed taxiing has their engines shut down. Some bright individual inquires about the delay...
"...ground what's the delay for?" (Here's your sign.)
Same delay, a few brave souls have tested the waters and departed. Things have started moving, but not very fast.
"Ground, Delta 123, can you give us a heads up when it's our turn? We don't want to get caught with our pants down."
...several seconds of uncomfortable silence, I couldn't help myself.
"What are you doing with your pants down?"
Game on.
After another minute or so of comments such as "What is Southwest doing here?", ground finally sounded off.
"I don't have time for this guys."
whatfuelpolicy said:Yeah.......I'm gonna have to go ahead and raise the BS flag on this one. N118AT belongs to ATP and was acquired by ATP in early 2000 new from the Piper store. I was employed by ATP from the time that N118AT was delivered until recently. Never had any pilots with accents like that and furthermore, ATP aircraft were not supposed to be going into KDAB unless approved by Dispatch, which I never approved. Chances are, if it was in a mid-east accent and actually happened, it was either Ari-Ben, ERAU, or DCA.

I wonder how many people have actually heard this one too:
Center: Airline XYZ please expidite descent to cross [intersection] at 11,000
Airline XYZ: Ahh, unable [intersection] at 11,000
Center: Don't you guys have airbrakes on that thing?
Airline XYZ: Airbrakes are for our screwups, not yours.
It is a true story. I was an instructor at Phoenix East from 2001 thru 2003. They had lots of forgein students and a number of airplanes that ended in Alpha Tango. I was there that day and the student was mine. I never said it was 118AT. I don't remember the tail number. We were in a Warrior that day, so the tail number would have been something between 134AT and 140AT.whatfuelpolicy said:Yeah.......I'm gonna have to go ahead and raise the BS flag on this one.

8HourPilot said:Uh there were NO delays over Swann, that was a fun night. The ATIS should have mentioned moderate death all quadrants.
