UAL used to let you listen into the cockpit to ATC chatter: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17656352 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17656352 — I understand this was really helpful for calming some passengers' nerves during flying.
- ryukoposting 16d agoI really appreciate it when I get a pilot that actually tells us wtf is going on.

- ryukoposting 16d agoGave me a good chuckle. Had a pilot last week who told us exactly how the queues work at O'Hare, and explained that we were getting moved because another pilot saw that parts of another plane's brake system were laying on the ground in the middle of the runway. He quickly corrected himself to say "debris" instead of "brake parts" which really makes me wonder if there's a mandate to not say anything that might suggest that a plane malfunctioned.
