Dramatic ATC Confrontation: Pilot Faces Harsh Reprimand from Air Traffic Control at Teterboro [Roundup]

by Gary Leff

News and notes from around the interweb:

  • Dang. Give this a listen:

  • 15% bonus on Amex transfers to LifeMiles through June 30, 2024, which offers some amazing value with the new 10% – 25% rebate on redemptions from LifeMiles+ that comes bundled with their U.S. premium credit card.

  • WestJet introduces UltraBasic fares sounds a lot like United basic economy tbh

  • If you’re sitting in the bulkhead row of coach, looking down ahead of you at the floor of first class on American Airlines regional jet N741AK operated by their wholly-owned Envoy Air this is the view that you’d see.

    This Embraer ERJ-170 is an ex-Shuttle America plane first delivered in 2006. The reader who sent this to me got off the plane. It overnighted at Greenville-Spartanburg International Airport and then was scheduled to keep flying, overnighting in Memphis and Jacksonville. Hopefully it finds its way to a maintenance base soon.

  • Guide to airline codeshares

  • Washington Dulles to get more private jet hangars I find it so interesting that U.S. airports manage their own commercial terminals, but completely outsource private passenger and aircraft handling.

  2. What am I looking at in that bulkhead photo that’s so concerning? Dirt and wires (That I assume power IFE?) I don’t see any reason to be concerned about either?

  4. Sounds like 6AV was having a medical emergency. ATC should have routed the paramedics.

  5. You know it got real when the controller’s NY came out. “Alpha Victor, what are you doing??’
