[@newname4405]

Lol, JFK is run by a lot more than one guy. Ground is different from approach and tower and gate and so on, his specific job is to deal with planes on the tarmac either en route for takeoff or coming in to a gate. Hence the issue here - the gate is run by the company separately I believe, and as you can tell he has to relay requests to them if they aren’t doing well. Basically, that gate f’d up. It is astonishing the fluidity with which aircraft are passed between different controllers at different stages, and impressive that any can keep track so well though, no doubt. It’s just more like a complex watch where each gear is a person rather than one all powerful overseer. You can see how complicated just one piece is after all. Also, I don’t work ATC or anything so I don’t know, but I’m pretty sure over time the results of mental fatigue have been recognized and they try *not* to keep them overworked too long. At JFK I wouldn’t be surprised if it was 1-on 1-off hours or something like that, and limit it to maybe 8 total, idk, point being I don’t think they total even near 8 full hours on the clock, nobody could do this all day. So he isn’t personally talking to every crew on the ground that day. Some fraction of the planes though certainly

[@Rhoadie1]

Yeah..... He killed himself. After the Obama and Trump shutdowns.

[@TheStoneWhisperer]

@@newname4405 I realize Steve is GRND, but it was confusing when I heard him giving Take off directions to a few of the pilots. That confused the heck out of me! He was telling them to fly RNWY heading 280 or whatever to meet his DME. That is the tower that would do that isn't it? So, that puzzled me why Steve at GRND was giving departure instructions. Weird...I must have missed something

pilots usually write down their taxi paths because they might be on it for a hour.

They have a notepad, and Steve can just look out the window. It takes a bit of practice to transcribe but you get the hang of it pretty quickly.

Calling this a melt down was quite the disservice to the masterful job he did. That was an amazing piece of coordination and I believe he kept his cool well throughout.

[@brch2]

It doesn't say he was melting down (he's Ground here, not Ramp), it says Ramp was melting down (which was causing him the problems he was talking about). But based on other vids and what I've heard so far of him, this is close to a meltdown voice for him... he was a professional, and has an awesome personality, but here you can hear it that he is damn near just over it at that moment (yet did his job masterfully).

Actually, I think it was a pilot asking to cross 31L, from her Hold point, to onward-taxi to another runway, cuz maybe it looked clear to her, and he said "No way" cuz he had other traffic due to come through quicker than she'd be able to cross... That's a safety hold, and life-saving. ;)

I used to load special cargo on 747-400 or c-5 size planes daily. 2-3 times a year we had one of those Russian Antanov planes come in.. it was so strong we had to tie down everything above ground. The poor guy in the small plane had to wait like 15 mins. Before he could fly behind him. Sucker was so big it held well over 100 ton plus three helicopters. The pilots were crazy.. if you had shady,secret or J.I.T. cargo... As long as you pay cash, they'd take anything anywhere no questions asked.. long as the weight was correct they wouldn't check the manifest and get the destination once they were wheels up. Loved watching it fly in slow motion. Your mind can't comprehend how it stays in the air..

The burn out rate for these miracle workers was incredibly high in the old days, before all the fancy technology. They carried the weight of huge responsibility and turned up the next day to do it all again. Then, every once in a while, one would stop turning up. These blokes are legends.

@@JPINFV That depends whatever they push deep enough to get the company in.
