[@ronparrish6666]

Very well done and very professional

[@loC2ol]

Damn this was like perfectly handled

[@JulieVanDyke-INFP]

WHEN did this happen?

[@Phillesfandom]

Cool vid

[@ericmartin5720]

Did they spot a CRJ900 that needed a de-tailing, on the taxiway?

[@bfreeman2121]

Is there a reason airlines frequently use four-digit flight numbers? Considering all the radio traffic congestion, using even slightly smaller call signs would help.

[@kimmyk1]

Lots of flap issues lately I noticed

[@MB-rr1fb]

Was this today ?

[@MrFloppy131]

No it wasnt, think about it

[@kristensorensen2219]

That detailing was an unfortunate mess!!😮

[@jaimediaz2639]

Why’s it important to actually declare an emergency? Does that do something in protocol for the tower n ground crew

[@ThinkHarderr]

When an emergency is declared it gives that airplane priority over everyone else and ensures they can make it back to the ground safely

[@jaimediaz2639]

Wow pretty cool didn’t know . Thank goodness for all these safety protocols

[@ThinkHarderr]

@@jaimediaz2639 with an emergency comes a lot of paperwork tho which is probably why the pilot sounds hesitant at first

[@jerrydunn3004]

It's the year 2024 and we're still having the fuel in pounds vs minutes debate. All kidding aside, great comms all around.

[@drewt1081]

picked a bad week to quit sniffing glue...

[@idunnoanymore2870]

I will never understand WHY ATC needs to ask for both pounds and minutes for fuel! I find it annoying when pilots are dealing with an emergency!

[@evanirvana500]

I tend to agree . I understand needing to know how much fuel aboard to better plan for a heavy landing of light and if it drops and crashes how big a fire it could cause. But why need both? Choose one and make that an aviation standard so every ATC knows

[@coolbear6441]

From what I understand it has to do with The volume of jet fuel which can change based on temperature, especially at high altitudes. Fuel is burned by mass, not volume. And I remember something that pounds has to do with the plane being overweight or not when landing and for the minutes I think ARFF needs to know how long the fuel might burn..🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

[@BarbBrandon]

Pounds so they can alert emergency services how much fuel is involved and minutes as aircraft burn fuel based on the type of aircraft and a host of other factors. Both are to ensure the best outcome for passengers, crew, and emergency services.
