Yeah, the ATC was technically correct but he could have been a lot more diplomatic and respectful. The ATC shouldn't be saying that sounds disrespectful to a pilot while he's in the air and piloting a plane full of passengers.

Otherwise, you can't be positive who's talking. Then, at 1:12, the pilot must read back all of the information given to make sure they got it right - especially, in that case, as there had been an initial question regarding which runway they were going to land on. Honestly, the mistake at 4:05 isn't that big a deal - that's why readbacks exist. My personal theory is that the pilot with the accent might've been maybe a tad drunk. However, the other pilot seemed sober and fine and able to take over the procedure. But I will asterisk this all with the fact that it's supposition and I have no actual proof of anything.

[@kenpalmer1965]

@@the_flight_records Thanks for the clarification on this.

[@stevenhall8469]

The specific phraseology, "possible pilot deviation", is known as a "Brasher warning". It puts the pilot on notice that they may have violated an instruction or regulation, and that the FAA may begin an investigation. Often it's cleared up with a phone call, especially if the violation was unintentional, safety was not compromised, and the pilot shows the right attitude about trying to improve safety in the future. The controller dressed the pilot down, and was willing to let it go, but then this jackass decided to mock the controller, and managed to talk the controller into giving him a Brasher warning when (probably) none was going to be given. The controller even gave him a huge hint: "Do you need a phone number to call?" He was saying in code what he couldn't say out loud ---- I ought to give you a Brasher warning, and will if you keep it up. The pilot was off the hook, and then just had to shoot his mouth off one last time. Most likely the approach controller picked up the phone and called tower and made sure the Brasher warning got issued.

We have - the radio is in tandem with transponders, GPS and flight logging. The radio serves as mechanism for validating what is already going to happen, or to announce new and critical information. Among other things, radio is infinitely more reliable, and with predictable behavior under various circumstances and operating conditions. You don't replace those types of systems. There's a reason why it's required for pilots to learn Morse code, despite the fact that it is no longer the primary means of communication. VHF radio is too reliable and predictable to just completely ditch. Especially when flying, where VHF can reach other receivers with ease compared to on the ground.

No they can't abbreviate call signs for good reason. It's possible to duplicate portions of them which could be dangerous for obvious reasons. Aircraft operators both airline and general aviation often operate with a "letter of agreement" or LOA with the FAA that permit fleets to establish callsigns that are shorter than their aircraft registration numbers so they don't have to state a lengthy identifier repeatedly, but pilots must still say the entire agreed upon identifier on the radio.
