ATC@JFK - Windy Kennedy

[edmedmoped]

I don't think Delta 707 needed to intervene at all. Yes he'll "do what he has to do", but let's try and do it safely, eh...

Props to Delta 707 for telling ATC that Aeromexico is gona do what he has to do because its true. As a pilot you can deviate from ATC to keep the aircraft safe. Yes he might have not been cleared to 6000 but the controller can send whoever is close back out somewhere.

sometimes i think that controlers should know a bit more about airplanes, you can't ask a pilot to hold at a level where windshear is encountered.... and as much as I love the stand that the pilots in 402 took, they should've insisted in climbing higher if they needed to....

@daspidrr: they should've insisted in climbing higher if they needed to....

JM: Yeah, right into another aircraft. Damned if you do, damned if you don't. First windshear and then TCAS.

Why did I start smiling the moment I heard "Aeromexico"? xD

Still... he did the right thing... gotta have guts to argue with JFK ATC xD

[1Gaumer]

i bet they found aeromexico's throttles conviently positioned forward of the firewall

[alnilam66]

those pilots have to do whats needed to keep people alive. jfk in famous for bad wind shear

[darnitalltohell]

Props to Aeromexico pilot for being assertive.

[aviator147]

was that a pilot at the end that told the ATC that Aeromexico will do what he has to do?

[NickScala]

that's insane. he has some balls.

[thebeatlefan156]

@aviator147 Yea.

[thebeatlefan156]

@aviator147 It was that Delta pilot that told the TWR about the Aeromexico.

[westxlcr]

Holy cow. You could hear the strain in the Aeromexico crew's voices.
