Why did the controller get so mad??

[ATCER]

it is still possible... but odd that a guy would call antoher guy that. Though... in a pissing match there is usually very little logic applied. I still think what was stated above is why it got hostile.

And a DUDE took offense to this????

uhmm??? If someon called me a cu.nt, i'd kick his arse. Any insult is good enough for me to kick someones arse. Whats so good about being called a cu.nt if you're a male?

I can't see what was "so called" started. Did he type the rest of the conversation and then delete it? I don't get it!

Because it makes no sense... I'd just laugh and walk away....

Great, I wonder how many other things I've said that have had a hidden meaning.

agree, makes very little sense if any.

Let's review>

I was on a VFR cross country today, listening to ZAB center and heard the following exchange...

Airshuttle XXX - "Airshuttle XXX, we'll see you next time"

Center - "Say again?!?!?!"

Airshuttle XXX - "Ummm, Airshuttle XXX, we'll see you next time"

Center - "OK I know what that means, and you can call us when you get on the ground!" The controller proceeds to give him a number to call.

Airshuttle XXX - "I have no idea what you are talking about sir, but I'll call the number when we get on the ground."

What gives?
Sounds pretty harmless and unventful.

that just gave me an idea.

The pilot's response to that shoulda been "we'll give you a call, and why don't you have your supervisor mark the tape". Controllers are a little less bold when their voice is there right along with yours.

It won't hold water. The phrase "see you next time" is used all the time by pilots and controllers. Most probably don't know that it is used by some as a code. I think it's very childish and the controller needs a few days off to adjust his attitude.

Jeez...I say that all the time and never even THOUGHT that it might be a code for something else. If I had ever been called on it by a controller for it before I read this thread I wouldn't have had ANY idea what they were talking about.
