Pilot: OK, tell you what, give me a phone number where I can call you after I land. I've heard controllers ask pilots to give them a call, but this is the first time I've ever heard a pilot insist on calling. LiveATC.net has a recent recorded exchange in their audio clips forum of an Air Canada pilot getting into a ****ing contest with a Toronto departure controller because the controller responded "Enough!" to the pilot's repeated attempt to negotiate past a speed restriction on the busy frequency. The pilot then kept insisting on initials and a phone number, to which the controller declined. It was a very interesting and it continued after the hand-off with the next controller. A case of a bruised ego that just couldn't let it go. If I have time I will download and listen to the LiveATC archives for the exchange in your example. It might be out there. Things actually got a bit more bizarre when, a few minutes later, the HPN ATIS was advertising Mike and the controller was insisting that somebody should have November :-) Man, I had that happen once at Syracuse. ATC accidentally skipped several ATIS letters, jumping from J to P or something like that. When I called clearance with Juliet, the controller lectured me that there was no way that I could have received the ATIS, given that they were now at Papa. I kept my mouth shut (no insistence of a phone number here) and was rewarded with an airline pilot calling clearance right after me with ATIS "Juliet." -- Peter |
