One thing you dont joke about are relaying that you understand vital instructions that, if not followed correctly, could kill hundreds if not thousands of people. The very fact that they arent allowed to even fly if anything so much as bumps the plane tells you how serious they take those kind of precautions and how serious an infraction it is to confuse or troll the ATC like this.

      @@nolanr1400 I'm not a pilot, but after watching a ton of ATC videos, I believe it's something like that. Cluttering ATC comms with irrelevant chatter and blocking potentially important comm traffic can be a big deal. I highly doubt any real negative action would result, but I'm pretty sure it would be noted in the controller's report. I expect the pilot might get a verbal, "be careful what channel your on" warning, possibly a written one since JFK is so busy. If he continues to key the wrong mic in the future, it would be a trail of evidence for negligence or unprofessionalism. But it was obviously a mistake (probably one every pilot has bad dreams of), so if it's his first time, he probably suffered little more than a really red face.

    That interaction with Air China, the lack of understanding from the pilot, that's how accidents happen. ATC is asking a question about clearance to taxi and the pilot takes it as permission to continue and could end up crossing a hot runway. You can hear the emphasis when the controller tells him to Hold his position.

      He should have been immediately suspended. He should be shittin’ himself, not just stressed. He’s required to be proficient in English, and he clearly is not. Whoever cleared him to fly internationally needs to be fired.

    As an English as second language speaker, the Air China part is somewhat understandable. The pilot may have mistaken intonation on question/directive. It happens sometimes.
