Just got supplemental training on this today, and wind shear escape joins TCAS avoidance maneuver on the list of things when you stop telling IFR aircraft what to do. Good on Aeromexico for sure. We're all human, and when you're right in aviation you have to make sure people know it.

Props to Aeromexico pilot for being assertive.

[@westxlcr]

Holy cow. You could hear the strain in the Aeromexico crew's voices.

[@cpt1radford]

Props to Delta 707 for telling ATC that Aeromexico is gona do what he has to do because its true. As a pilot you can deviate from ATC to keep the aircraft safe. Yes he might have not been cleared to 6000 but the controller can send whoever is close back out somewhere.

@aviator147 It was that Delta pilot that told the TWR about the Aeromexico.

[@NickScala]

that's insane. he has some balls.

[@AxCYeR]

haha i like that controller and how he speaks haha so enjoyable to listen to

[@PikalaxALT]

Props also to the Delta pilot for understanding the situation and not taking off in such adverse conditions. Lives were saved that day.

[@1Gaumer]

i bet they found aeromexico's throttles conviently positioned forward of the firewall

[@ManiPulatoR84]

Why did I start smiling the moment I heard "Aeromexico"? xD Still... he did the right thing... gotta have guts to argue with JFK ATC xD

[@daspidrr]

sometimes i think that controlers should know a bit more about airplanes, you can't ask a pilot to hold at a level where windshear is encountered.... and as much as I love the stand that the pilots in 402 took, they should've insisted in climbing higher if they needed to....

[@zacharylaramee]

It’s the air china 981 controller 😭😭

[@aviator147]

was that a pilot at the end that told the ATC that Aeromexico will do what he has to do?

[@thebeatlefan156]

@aviator147 Yea.

[@Frabusne]

[@USCG10124]
