Guest Guest Posted March 7, 2003 Share Posted March 7, 2003 During a taxi run, the crew of a US AIR flight to Ft. Lauderdale made a wrong turn and came nose to nose with a United 727. The irate ground controller (a female) screamed, "US Air 2771, where are you going? I told you to turn right on ""Charlie"" taxiway; you turned right on ""Delta. Stop right there! I know it's difficult to tell the difference between C's & D's, but get it right!"" Continuing her lashing to the embarrassed crew, she was now shouting hysterically. "God, you've screwed everything up; it'll take forever to sort this out. You stay right there and don't move until I tell you to! Then, I want you to go exactly where I tell you, when I tell you, and how I tell you. You got that, US Air 2771?" The humbled crew responded, "Yes, Ma'am." The ground control frequency went terribly silent; no one wanted to engage the irate ground controller in her current state. Tension in every cockpit at the airport was running high. Then an unknown male pilot broke the silence and asked, "Wasn't I married to you once?" Quote Link to comment
