Airline Pilot Throws Temper Tantrum

Sometimes as pilots we don't get our way and we get irritated about it, sometimes we have to bite our tongue sometimes pilots choose to talk on the radio.

Touch and gos are the bread and butter of flight students. Imagine doing dozens of them yourself as a student and then begrudging others the same experience once you don’t need to do them anymore.

This right here. I did my touch and go’s at ROC in New York. Good airport to learn, there’s commercial traffic but also plenty of students in a Class C. I agree, I was nervous, felt like I didn’t belong being on the comms alongside the bigger guys. Doing this and hearing someone like that would have crushed any confidence I had.

[@jahbern]

@@mrdonovan213 my daughter learned at Elizabeth City, which is an interesting combination of commercial, flight school, GA, and occasional military craft. The ATC and airport staff were like family. They had a cookout every Friday and invited the flight school students. It made it so much easier for young student pilots to communicate with ATC when they knew they were like family to the people on the radio.

[@IzzyOnTheMove]

It doesn't matter if it was a rural airport or JFK. Pilots should always remain professional and courteous (This also goes for ATC).

[@wilsjane]

ATC ar rarely the culprits, but they don't take kindly to pilots who think they own the airport. Here at London Heathrow, with only 2 runways their is a particular problem when an incoming flight has declared Mayday or pan-pan. ATC will sometimes advise aircraft waiting on the taxiways to shut their engines down. They will also help, by advising flights with close fuel margins when to leave the gate, to avoid delays getting to the runway and awaiting takeoff clearance. During busy periods, on a clear day, you can see a row of up to 5 flights lined up on final approach. ATC do not have an easy job.

My dad was a red head too 😘

[@sidecarcn]

Hi Kelsey, My dad who was a pilot is the one who turned me on to your page. He flew with KLM from 1967 to 1992. He was the last KLM pilot to fly from East Berlin in the GDR to Amsterdam and the first KLM pilot to fly Amsterdam to Beijing in the mid 1970s. And was part of a board of pilots who wanted to get Jacov van Zanten. If you don;'t know who that is look up the Tenerife airport crash. They had wanted to get him fired months before the crash as they felt he would one day cause an accident. But, van Zanten was KLM's star pilot so it didn't work He's now 96 and from time to time still does advisory work for KLM. I know when he was flying during long haul flights he would always come out ad talk to passengers. This is the days when cockpit doors were open and children could visit the pilots. My dad use to buy toys of Fokker and 747 aircraft. I still remember the first time I flew and there was a smoking and non smoking area. When he took control of the 747 a year after I was born in 1971 he always flew long haul flights. He had a list of least favourite airports. NY, LA and Schönefeld in East Berlin due to as he put it (shitty air traffic control). His favourites Singapore, Sydney, Tokyo, Montreal, and the old Kai Tak International in Hong Kong.

@@vinny142You don't have to be a professional 24/7, and you don't EVER have to be a ray of sunshine. What is expected, however, is being professional for those few minutes when you're on the radio with controllers, be it 5 mins or 20 mins or whatever. Even if you're pissy about something, you don't let that out over the radio. And though I'm not a pilot, I've worked customer service for over 3 decades. No matter what you're feeling, you have to maintain some professional decorum. So, yes, this was a ridiculous attitude from the pilot/FO on the radio here. And if you think "everyone has a bad day" excuses behavior like this, that's a view that's going to bite you in the ass sooner or later (like I bet it did for this guy once his bosses heard this audio).

The second video was definitely satire. I was a bit worried until he said that “now I don’t know if this FO was busy with her schoolwork” bit. And he even made it more clear with the payment of food and shelter which got a good laugh from me. But I will say Kelsey wasn’t actually wrong, even if it was all tongue in cheek. Obviously Dad took their kid out for a flight and the kid doesn’t have a license, and they likely stayed in air space near small regional airports. But Dad was preoccupied with making sure the kid said everything right so other pilots could hear, and aside from the one wrong call, the kid wasn’t the clearest with the call sign. But clearly they’re learning and it’s great experience for later in life when they can start learning.

It’s so heartwarming to hear people being nice and patient to kids like this….now they need to get on that frequency where they make cat noises….

[@sk1ppman]

Kelsey, you and Airforceproud95 are two of my favorite KZbinrs! Keep up the great work!

[@guerxx]

Great humor Kelsey for the second part, I was giggling all the way through on your comments for RuthlessAv8girl 😂 loved it!!!!

[@ebiven1563]

I love Kelsey roasting the kid lol

[@matthewb3113]

Kelsey, a grumpy pilot jealous that he doesn’t have an adorable voice. Your humor is awesome. Always a good day when you drop a video.

[@diesiraelr]

Thank you for being an Atlas pilot who isn’t a diva 🤣. I work with a few different cargo carriers and when I’m loading Atlas planes I’ve come to expect divas and am pleasantly surprised when I get cool pilots

[@jomama5186]

Love your content !!! Love your commentary ! You are AWESOME !!! If I ever had a brother, I would want him to be just like you. This was funny ! I never knew so much was going on. A lot to know ! Idk how you do what you do, but am so glad you do !!! 🧡🙏🏻

[@garyradtke3252]

That childish pilot makes me hesitant to fly American Airlines. When people get that angry over small things they begin to make mistakes because their mind is distracted from the important stuff at hand. Plus they tend to take actions to show their anger. I am not a physiologist but I am a short tempered person and know what happens. It takes over the mind no mater how good you think you are at multitasking.

[@laustinspace5838]

Agree with u on that. If he’s taking short cuts now on fuel management on domestic commuter routes ( and “ getting away with it”), doesn’t auger well should his career advance to bigger aircraft a/c, longer routes, more complex flight management decisions

[@wendymisirly5826]

“Stop going upside down Kelsey” 😂😂

[@Sciguy95]

Watching your channel gets me so excited. Im finally getting the chance to go to flight school myself and I've always wanted to be a 747 pilot.

[@mw12349]

Kelsey you Rock thank you for the explanation for us laymen love how you're so humble and explain everything to us .

[@MinJoe06]

Hey Kelsey, I flew home for a family reunion and it was the first time I flew since I found you on KZbin. It has been some 5 years since I last flew..I have flown before...a little nervously..but it was whole different experience this time. From the time I drove into the Long Term Lot at Sac Airport….until the plane landed at O’Hara in Chicago..I was relaxed. And that’s because of you and your channel. All the sounds..sights….movements..etc.. I was able to anticipate..so I just relaxed. One of my highlights was predicting when they would start using their flaps..and I was pretty close!!! Thanks for what you do!!!

[@davegrundgeiger9063]

I was Madison born and raised, and had my first flight lesson at MSN. (Living in LA now and flying out of WHP.) It's so cool to see my hometown on your channel. And hilarious commentary on the second piece. I love this channel.

[@ArsenaISarah]

I recently discovered your Channel. I’m a 56 Year-Old English Woman who was unaware that Flying was an interest of mine but since finding you I’ve developed a keen interest. Thank you for your amazing content

[@matthewpeck4016]

"Stop flying upside down" 😂 Always appreciate your videos.

[@rainbowbudgies1129]

Thanks Kelsey. A good reminder that many of us need to work on our patience and curtesy now and then. Keep safe.

[@BillySugger1965]

As my instructor said to me once, they all had to learn sometime.

[@janemiettinen5176]

I taught arts & crafts, I had to say almost daily (when my students found something too intimidating or difficult) that I wasnt born like this, I had to learn everything from the start too. If I can do something, anyone can. And theres no shame in being a rookie, that means youre one mean learning machine right now!

[@sirreginaldwilliams]

Great video as usual. Thanks Kelsey for once again giving us a lesson within entertainment!

[@garysimpson2602]

that was funny..... your sense of humor is so dry it is almost imperceptible. Good job!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@iainhay2823]

Love that second FO, you better watch yourself Kelsey someone there who is gunning for your job!

[@LowEarthOrbitPilot]

Love your perspective here 😂👍🏼 ~ She will make a good pilot.

[@majid7925]

Honestly the adorable roast was hilarious! i loved that part it was so heartwarming and funny!

[@samnicholos7892]

Good job Kelsey Some Pilots evidently forgot where they started

[@alaskan3304]

Dang it. I was thinking the second audio was the American Pilot and the first aircraft was this youngster. But now I realize that the AA pilot was acting like a 6-7 year old. I’ll fly with the citation any day! Lol

[@dom1310df]

There was a piece on BBC News the other day about other drivers hurling abuse at people on their driving lessons. Sad to see the same happens with pilots.

[@asasavanna]

So very unprofessional, I would have been appalled if I was training as heard that on the radio. Thank you Kelsey for all the information love the videos I learn so much. Asa

[@direflyer]

Hey! 730GY flies into my airport quite frequently, and I love hearing the kid on the radio, it's awesome.

[@billplatt]

Imagine how he talks to his crew members when there are no hot mics

[@fizzyfilms7411]

“Stop going upside down, Kelsey”😂😂😂😂

[@Volkswagenitalia.]

So adorable! Loved the little inclusion at the end there. Hopefully she’ll be a captain someday!

[@Midnight.Rain.747.]

I know I’m not tripping is that a child on the second one 😰

[@consortiumxf]

Man child vs. Ruthless Aviator Girl....love it! Kelsey your facial expressions while watching these videos were 'adorable' 😊

[@k1productions87]

I was so upset that people attacked Ruthless Aviator Girl and forced them to remove many of their videos.

[@standartenfuhrerhanslanda343]

Thank you for always educating us non-flying aviation dorks. Never flew, never will but I appreciate all the information. Be blessed, my man!

[@Shotsmoky]

I love this channel. Thanks Kelsey. 😁

[@flym0]

My son is having flying lessons and is now starting to learn ATC calls (well when the plane isn't broken, subjected to poor weather, having Covid-19 ...) . I arranged a visit to the tower to see the people with whom he will be talking to. It made a world of difference to his confidence.
