Making lots of mistakes and corrections JAX approach/departure [link to www.liveatc.net (secure)] mount=kjax_app_dep&icao=kjax OH SHIT, someone just got read a phone number over the air as I signed on. That's never good. This time though it sounded like the pilot had a question for atc, not the other way around. There is nothing worse than making a mistake as a pilot and having them say "07D I got a phone number for you to call when you get down" |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 80816042 United States 10/10/2021 12:53 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | OK now I KNOW this controller is new to the area. He had to pause a second to confirm which runway he was clearing for ILS approaches. Normal Jaxx controllers are VERY good. They don't second guess. They know the area. The interesting thing will be visual reporting points. A new controller will be unfamiliar with the area. |

Those guys walked so they had to bring in new guys from somewhere else. That is my theory, and I am trying to gather info listening to center to find something substantial this guy is new to the area and was brought in to cover the problem |

Quoting: Reebl [link to www.flightradar24.com (secure)] Lots of planes in the air, in and out of Florida. I haven't seen a plane all day and I live 2 miles from St Petersburg Intl. in Pinellas County, so that must be CGI because my eyes aren't lying to me. Expert Generalist With Moral Injury |

User ID: 78579564 United States 10/10/2021 01:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It was my understand that it was just the Jacksonville airport and only about 600 flights affected. I'm sure they had to bring in others...but you know....good on them for standing for something. There is also a group of pilots that are talking about walking off the job in protest of the mandate. These things will happen the longer this insane stuff goes on. |

This should be going on in California, New York, and New Jersey. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 79512874 Florida employees have no choice if the employer is federal OR if the main office is out of state...so for example, my home office is in Colorado...but I'm a remote worker in FL...there is a mandate. They haven't been too crazy about it, but it's there. Some of our medical facilities are headquartered out of NY or PA....and they are still demanding mandate. It's been awful...because businesses based in FL are not requiring it....but those that have employees here but are headquartered elsewhere....major bummer. Most business in FL is not headquartered here. |

You cannot bear a bully by being compliant, you MUST push back, even when the bully wants you to push back. It lose lose but one way is lose everything, the other is lose to win. |

User ID: 80491821 United States 10/10/2021 02:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to redstate.com (secure)] Further, while the details here are still murky about who is specifically to blame (aside from vaccine mandates in general), what is clear is that people are furious with Southwest Airlines. By blaming non-existent weather problems, they were able to avoid giving refunds or paying for layover expenses for those left stranded, many sitting on planes for hours. That decision to not just be honest with its customers about the cause of the cancellations has hampered the reputation of what was once seen as the “different” airline. Yet, they aren’t operating any differently than their typically more loathed counterparts in the industry. This was all completely avoidable by using some common sense. From the article, less than 50%. Last Edited by Whiskey*Tango on 10/10/2021 02:43 PM |
