@NVTrucker I agree with u
-
@NVTrucker No, I understand you. You have no idea what it is like to be an airline pilot. It is a job, just like whatever it is you do to put food on your table. Those who share your "do it for free" idea have killed the industry. Airlines tell pilots "just be glad you're being paid to fly." Like we should accept that as payment rather than feed our children. There are those who THINK they would want to be in an airline pilots shoes. Those same people would take the shoes off, quickly.
-
@Tramsootru You misunderstand me. I would give anything, ANYTHING to be a pilot, much less paid for it. You'll have to excuse me if I don't feel pity for someone who gets paid to do something they love. (Something they would probably do for free) The comment wasn't meant as a slam, it was meant to make the pilot think. There are people who would love to be in his shoes.
-
@NVTrucker It's this attitude that has lead the industry to be the sess pool that it is. Heaven forbid a pilot wish to be compensated fairly for flying. "Just be happy you're getting paid to fly.." Give me a break..

@born2atc i think it only stops in ireland west-bound both to refuel and clear us immigration etc to avoid the hustle and waiting in jfk (its a business class-only flight).
-
@TTDMFfreaknew It's a business class only flight that departs from London City airport, which is right slap bang in the middle of London, as opposed to Heathrow which is on the western periphery and a lot harder to get to from the middle of London. Quite a nifty idea from BA I think....

Hahahahaha..... No... Just no ...atc these days
-
lol!
-
eat more? ok

got to eat more LOL
-
@TTDMFfreaknew i was like that too
-
@oktal3700 hey thanks

@Postie218 t/o weight over 255,000 lbs. Although some slightly lighter like the 757 are also considered "heavy" by many controllers. It means the aircraft can generate a lot of wake turbulence so they should allow more space behind it.
-
@Postie218 mtow above a certain weight i believe. couldnt tell you what that weight is tho
-
@born2atc What makes them "heavy" ?
-
@born2atc A318 trans-atlantic? WHHHAAAAAAT?
-
Lol. JFK control is always on point!
-
@CanNibble Pretty much you have to state your call number i.e eagle345 with your request to the tower, they answers your request or give you direction etc you have to repeat it back to them so they know you have it right. The number with R or L is runways btw. Hope I helped I might be a little rusty though since I decided to no longer pursue the industry.
-
that's right
-
@CanNibble Actually that's a good point - after the Tenerife crash the rules of ATC were changed so that the words "take off" can only be used in relation to a *clearance* for take off, to try & avoid any future misunderstandings like this. i.e. as a pilot when you are ready for take off you must say "ready for departure", you are not allowed to say "ready for take off". Likewise, ATC must not used the words "take off" unless they are clearing you for take off.
-
@CanNibble The reason you don't know what they're saying is that you don't know what they *might* say. I had the same problem when I first started pilot training, could hardly understand a word. Eventually you get to know what phrases the controller will probably say back to you, so your brain automatically fills in the gaps of the bits you didn't quite hear. It's quite easy to understand after a while.

@CanNibble thats what im wondering too!

Funny ATC- Can we delay it for 30 secconds?by formychar115,133 views
That is Just too F***ing funny, "Aspiring to be heavy" ...Just be happy you're getting paid to fly!

Speedbird 2 is an A318. It is not a HEAVY. Which is why the controller corrected himself. As JFK controllers are used to seeing only HEAVY British Airways aircraft, the controller made a mistake on the inital clearance for takeoff, but quickly corrected himself in the same transmission.
the A318 operates New York-JFK to London CIty airport in England. (via Ireland i believe, to clear customs and for fuel, at least on the westbound leg)
