Overheard on ATC

[OPECJet]

So sad when my soul mission out of this career is to have someone post something on the internet that I said on the radio. Hasn't happened yet, but it will.......

Reported from a Delta Capt.

Delta 767: "Ground, OK to cross bleed? Don't wan't to blast the guy behind us."
Comair: "Tell Delta to go ahead and blow me."

Now that's funny, I don't care who you are...

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.

I said this one back in my frieght dogs days of the early 90's. I was told to follow an Eagle Shorts 360 and a CCAIR Shorts 360. It was as follows:

CLT GND: Seneca 8793E (Now in RAM Air's Fleet), taxi to Rwy 18L, you will be following an Eagles Shorts and a US AIR shorts.

My Reply: I will follow a pair of Shorts to 18L , 8793E.

Anyone know if the "g'daaaaayyyyy" guy is still in RDU? That always made me smile.

If this is the guy who speaks in monotone, he still is there.

Let's try not to confuse CLE controllers with any un-necessary humor, they have a hard enough time simply trying to sequence traffic in the first place.

Heard this one from an old ATC'er who swears it happened. If you spent any time around DAB you'll appreciate it.

N118AT: (In your best mid east accent) Daytona Approaching Controll, I am Vun Vun Eet Alpva Tango for landing instructions"

DAB App: 118AT say your position.

N118AT: Yes yes, for landing please.

DAB App: Sir, what is your position from Daytona?

N118AT: Dirka Dirka Mohammed Jihad (or something like that)

After a few more unsuccessful attempts:

DAB App: N118AT, are you over DeLand? (a GA field just outside the DAB class C)

N118AT: No, I am over dee water...................
