Are you kidding? Flight follower is the worst! Not only does he post old videos, but he often edits them to try to make the pilots look bad when the controllers screw up! He’s so biased against pilots it’s ridiculous. Take this title for instance. It should read “controller can’t handle a suggestion and instead violates regulations.”

I was vectored once by ATC into a near midair collision. The proper response by the pilot is to file a hotline or directly call the center. The problem is the air traffic controllers protect each other. The ATC manager did not follow up with me and I work for the agency. Some rare air traffic controllers are hostile, and fail to enhance safety when communicating. These are people who are in the wrong profession.
Absolutely. In case of raising any complaints it is not the right place. We can always discuss on the ground. Most of Atc controller are fantastic, there are very rare case.
Pilot needs to get a life. Spending way too much time soothing his ego rather than concentrating on his passenger's safety. How many tragedies have been caused by distraction? He could have made a call after he landed, just saying.
I am not an expert, but it appears that the Canada Air pilot was out of line. Even if he had a legitimate reason to ask for the ID, which did not appear to be the case, the controller clearly signaled that he was unable to provide that at the time. The pilot could have easily stood down and filed a complaint later, rather then to keep insisting on getting what he wanted.
Well exactly the same with all the atc „Possible pilot deviation. I have a number for you to call“ videos. ATC has absolutely no authority to do that. Still US pilots follow the order as if ATC were their boss. ATC could also just file a complaint with the FAA…
The Air Canada is as annoying as the people that send you a business email, you say, "thank you", and they reply, "your welcome". Enough! You're polite but wasting business time now and, in this case, interrupting radio communications.
I get saying you don’t have time for flight following but to say you don’t have time for someone asking for a number is ridiculous. He’d certainly give the pilot a number if he did something wrong.
It doesn't seem to me that the controller did anything wrong. The pilot was being a baby because he didn't get exactly what he wanted and then got told, albeit rudely, to quit congesting a busy frequency.
@@gcolbert99it’s unacceptable for the controller to get upset when the pilot is trying to offer a different, likely better, solution to the traffic congestion. Further, the controller is required to provide his number and ID when requested, so he was in violation of the regulations as well. Pilots are not supposed to just blindly follow ATC instructions. They are the pilot in command and ultimately responsible for every move of the aircraft, not ATC. It’s supposed to be a team effort with some give and take. Certainly not a commander and follower relationship!
@@skydvrboyunacceptable is your opinion. He was busy and trying to handle multiple aircraft and the pilot was being argumentative at that point, not helpful. The controller thanked him for his help up to that point and then he immediately and childishly asked for a number. The controller did nothing against regs. I'm not able to find anything in writing saying that a controller must provide an ID when requested but that may be true. Lastly you are required to comply with all ATC instructions unless there is an emergency or it will affect flight safety. If you are unable to comply then you simply reply "unable"
ATC has a hard job. Pilots have a hard job. It's best we not be dicks to one another and give each other the benefit of the doubt. Never anything to gain arguing on frequency. ATC/FAA hold all the cards.
I don't understand what necessitated the pilot asking for a number? I get ATC was a little abrupt saying "enough" but is that really worth all that radio time?
@@acbulgin2 exactly. ATC tried to avoid it because he had to manage other traffic. If any issues, there is always an opportunity to discuss them on ground.
@@Flight_FollowerNot if the controller refuses to provide his phone number and ID. This was completely unacceptable for ATC not to provide this info and just caused the frequency to be even more cluttered with repeated requests.
@@Flight_Follower Let me try to explain: If someone speaks to us in an inappropriate way, we ask "Geht´s noch?", which means "Everything ok with you?", or simply: "Are you crazy?" 😉
Pilot has a right to ask for anything. Especially if the instructions given led him into troubles. I bet all my money that if the pilot makes a mistake he will be given an phone number to call ATC and you will never hear from ATC that they have no time, or they will not discuss it further. Especially KSFO where they constantly clearing for visual approaches and quite often, because of poor separation, ATC makes situation ever worse. Rather than given extra 1-2NM seperation ATC sequance aircraft to close hence there are so many go arounds. And if you dare to request ILS or RNP we will be put on hold for a long time. The way they run it there is unheard of anywhere else in the world. Listening and watching VASAviation it looks like big ground or aircraft cash is just a matter of time. Just open flight radar and Live ATC and enjoy KSFO operations.
I had an IP (USAF Instructor Pilot) tell me early on to be courteous, humble yet assertive with ATC. If they are busy, don't chit chat, but if they vector you into a bad situation, speak up! This Air Canada pilot was just being a nicehole, which is probably the worst trait a pilot could exhibit. All he had to do was shut up and follow instructions. @@Flight_Follower
Frustrations are inevitable - but pilots or controllers who 'vent' publically on the airwaves are just adding poor professional conduct to the list of grievances... Keep it Pro-fesh! boys 'n girls. ;-)
Air canada pilots are the lowest of the low, hate sharing airspace with them. should see them in the terminal, just constantly taking photos of them selfs.
Sounds like bs. I've seen a lot of them and never seen them or any other pilot taking photos of themselves as you suggest. Usually comments like that come from people who are resentful for some reason or another.
Pilots have plenty of time to copy a number. Controllers may be busy keeping major accidents from happening. Also yes you can absolutely decline the call if you want to, but it will rarely benefit you since it'll just lead to a report being made about what happened without any of your input

The only pilot who seems to be justified in their annoyance is the United guy who kept being sent around at SFO.
Yeah! He made 03 go arounds. It's very normalto get a call like this for UNITED

Would you mind putting the dates of these recordings in your descriptions? I remember this was ages ago, but I'd love to know the exact date. Thanks!
We will surely do it on the next videoos. Thank you

Check the egos at the door
Can you imagine if you told ATC you don’t have time
Already happened, but time wasn’t the factor… he was flying! 😂
That would be hilarious 😂
Pilot: Mayday Mayday Mayday…
Atc:” I don't have time”
He shouldn't have time for a pain in the ass that can't handle being slowed in busy airspace. Air Canada guy is a joke.
Do the ATC job and come back talking shi
I’m sure you will shut up
ATC: 1390 go around.
1390: I don't have time [lands airplane]
I don't understand what necessitated the pilot asking for a number? I get ATC was a little abrupt saying "enough" but is that really worth all that radio time?
To my understanding, it was not required at all.

What happened with the Air Canada 460?
Air Canada is the biggest joke. Their flight crew couldn't be more entitled, sounds like the pilots aren't any different. Absolute garbage airline.
This is very unexpected event I must say
Air Canada. We’re not happy until you’re not happy.
I fly Air Canada and West Jet. No difference, it can be a great flight or it can be crap! Never know what you will get.
air canada sucks

I remember this was about 10 or 20 years ago. Still interesting to hear it again.
Interesting
This happened a few months ago and there are quite a few different records of San Francisco tower/atc being rude/assholes.
Always entertaining to her saltiness on the air waves😂😂

This pilot is very entitled...
Very much 😀

Typical Toronto atc. They are the rudest,worst controllers of any I have encountered in 40 years.
