I’m a fan of Steve. He welcomed us in my first flight to JFK. Turns out an Air China 747-8 blocked our taxiway and access to the ramp. We were stuck there for more than 20 minutes while the Air China wouldn’t move because the had an argument with a Korean A380 that was blocking them too. When both whales moved away, Steve cleared us to the ramp with an “all riiiiight !!!! Welcome to a normal day at JFK!!!!”. I laughed the whole way to my hotel.

[@noeldown1952]

I love it when Aeroflot asks "face which way?" Steve hesitates for a moment, probably considering if he can reply with his trademark "face forward, passengers don't like it when you face them when flying the plane". But then he realises the Russians aren't going to like it, so he gives a straight answer.

[@89DerChristian]

With the level of english displayed during the conversation, who knows what would've happened if he tried to make a joke

[@MikeWiggins1235711]

Personally I think it was a wise move. The Aeroflot was already having problems with comms and on top of that the Aeroflot wanted a taxiway change. There's a time and place for humor. This was not one of them ... even for Steve. And he showed his true professionalism by recognizing that.

[@thegriffin88]

Even when Steve is miffed at a guy for not communicating, he ends with "alright, cya". Most of the other controllers are real asses.

Also could depend on what position/area you are working. It is not like this 100% of the time. Also, once you are trained and experienced it's not as hectic as it sounds. Really.

Kennedy Steve... still one of the most professional controllers I have ever listened to. And while that always with a sense of humor. A shame he will retire soon but there is a lot of material of him we can always listen to... :D And 7:47 is the best example how to handle traffic that is not soooo familiar with US operations. In most european countries GND is controlling the pushback too, there is nothing like a "ramp". So the GND (here Kennedy Steve) would give every aircraft a pushback clearence with a facing. Ive heard several US controllers responding in a mean way to this request. Steve on the other hand handled it in a professional manner. EDIT: Yeah, to the AC in the end he was a bit pissed of... but who wouldn't with an uncontrolled AC on a big airport like Kennedy...

[@GhostHostMemories]

when he calls a plane 10 times and relays to the ramp 2 times... I can see being upset.

[@volante8657]

+marcel1416 I'd like to put it this way, ramp is available when the airport is at a certain scale and is not restricted to US only, but your point still stands ;)

[@volante8657]

+marcel1416 hang on a second, the aeroflot was confirming information with steve to make live easier, steve never clear a push and it was the ramp's job

[@marcel1416]

+PikalaxALT Yep, totally right, in this case he was able to allow the AC to tell RAMP to push him where he wanted him to be (which is why I prefer the GND-only structure, like in europe, more than then the GND/RAMP structure in the US, because GND can and often needs to determe that for every AC pushing). Both structure are working totally fine, on big european airport GND is often devided into seperate GND and APRON stations, but they are sitting next (or close) to each other in the control tower. If I understand the "ramp" structure, that is not the case there.

[@LynxStarAuto]

Apparition doesn't mean teleportation. From Merriam-Webster... ap·​pa·​ri·​tion | \ ˌa-pə-ˈri-shən \ Definition of apparition 1a: an unusual or unexpected sight : PHENOMENONstrange apparitions in the sky b: a ghostly figurereported seeing ghostly apparitions in the old house 2: the act of becoming visible : APPEARANCEthe apparition of sunlight through the window

@@brendalg4 I know what the technical definition is, but in context of this conversation, it's a Harry Potter reference. In the books, "apparition" is a skill that allows one to teleport around, allowing one to "appear suddenly" in a place of your choosing. The name of the spell comes from the second definition of the word where you suddenly become visible. What the controller was trying to say is that unless you can magically move around the craft, you're not going anywhere.

Q: where's the Swiss? Steve: Between France and Italy 😂 Me: dead of laughter

[@galdavonalgerri2101]

7:46 There are two things about aeroflot. 1 it is very clear English is not their best language 2 Kennedy Steve is the absolute opposite to what they learned and what they expect from ATC in their country. Jokes are only allowed after application on the form in triplicate, and if the 30th of February falls on a Sunday. In addition, a security guard must carry a sign "beware joke". They are afraid of losing their epaulettes when laughing without permission. You can hear it in the unsettled voice.

Galda von Algerri Slightly off topic, but there seems to be a lot of people around these days who need prior warning about a joke coming up. Over the last few years the PC Police in particular have had their sense of humour gene surgically removed and replaced with instant rage on the slightest lighthearted remark🤦‍♀️
