I really appreciate them using the mayday-mayday-mayday call, because lately I've seen a lot of "yeah, so we're declaring an emergency at this time" while also giving other information, and it's not nearly as clear for ATC. Edited because capslock
The crew contact the departures controller, saying they need vectors and some time, only for the departures controller to ask if they want to come in now. Listen ffs. He said he wanted a vector and some time. The last thing they want to be doing is answering questions they;ve already answered.
Keep in mind that the transcript we have on this video, and the clarity with which we hear everyone (from a third party antenna and radio) is not what they have as they’re working. I heard, “and now we’re heading back to Chicago” from the pilot. Was his first transmission on departure frq. Controller asked immediately if they were ready to come in immediately, because it sounded like the aircraft said it was vectoring itself to a runway.
Why is it that normal AIRCRAFT-ATC comms are heard first time, but whenever ATC asks for "souls on board and remaining fuel" the PM has to repeat it multiple times?
An extreme emergency that demands an immediate return (if it's even possible) will happen too quickly for ATC to speak. At the start of every reasonable scenario, the pilots always need quiet time and vectors around the airport (to reduce navigation workload).
Give me fuel in pounds and souls. Wait can you repeat that? They almost always have to ask twice. It’s like they ask for the info and then aren’t ready to write it down.
America903: "we're working an issue". Then the male tower controller calls them 3 times asking if they need help in quick succession. ffs. Leave them alone. Their priorities are Aviate.Navigate.Communicate.
We don't see other traffic, there may have been a conflict risk. Sure, they could also direct the other plane, I don't think those comms are here either.

Love that Chicago always sounds so calm whenever there's a mayday. It's very reassuring.

It’s not really a big deal.
There’s a lot going on in emergencies, of course they might ask again like the pilots asked things a couple of times.

They should at least ask for “persons on board”. “Passengers” excludes crew, “souls” excludes lawyers.

Hey we have an emergency. Goes silent. Yeah they’re prob fine let’s forget about them. Duuuhhhh
WTF that "fun" in 2:39 means 😭😭😭
That workload is insane in that moment - they have to stabilize, diag, contact Ops, and keep flying (and maybe inform pax too)
@@jonathanbott87 Exact but why he uses 'fun stuffs' on the pilots
@@navigatingskies Sarcasm. Like when someone is going to do something they don't want to do you say sarcastically to them 'have fun'.
