Seems to work pretty well most of the time w/ souls involved. Works better than most websites on hard lines.

    You mean a situation where a pilot who is supposed to know English in the parlance of global aviation lingo seems to be playing dumb?

      That is a unique thought.

        I'm assuming you don't listen to ATC traffic much, and have general HN assumption you just know better than everyone else.

    One of the YouTube commenters contributed some much-needed nuance. JFK Ground added to the confusion by repeatedly refusing to use standard phraseology, and failed to maintain professionalism, getting audibly angry and impatient. Both sides of the radio conversation had problems.

      Exactly, voice comms has a large number of disadvantages. Thanks for expanding on the point I was making.
