CF on JFK Ground......

Great find, BI.

That controller was a riot. "Who was that? And you're where? And you're doing what? Short of who?" :icon_lol:
 
Only a kid from the Brawnks or Joisey (sic both) would think aloud while holding the mike down. Great entertainment.
 
I had to laugh at the foreign crews mumbling to themselves and then getting overrun by the New Yorker . . .
 
Ahh.. BOS ground made me glad the few times I went there I was told:

Switch tower, They'll clear you from present position..
 
Ctrller: "jesus, now I'm all screwed up....gentlemen....sigh..."
 
Every SNA with airline aspirations should hear this...
 
The controller was not set up for success by one of my biggest pet peeves: only using number vice full callsign on the radio.
The one that stuck out was the guy answering "77" instead of "Jetblue 77" Im guessing was definitely the possibility for multiple 77s out there.
This is applicable to this scenario as well as the CAS stack.

Edit: got nothing but good things to say about JFK tower when transitting their airspace in a Cobra. It was almost as good as holding airliners so the Marines could fly through, great people.
 
Having flown in and out of JFK 30 years I can say it ain't over till the chocks are in. ATC does not like to lead you by the hand. LAX isn't a whole lot better, but the controllers at both places are on top of their game;usually.
