While flying GA in the vicinity of the RZC VOR, I was monitoring Springdale, AR(KASG) CTAF frequency.
Cessna XXXX - Springdale Traffic, Cessna XXXX entering left downwind for 16, Springdale.
Springdale UNICOM - I'd recommend you use 18....it's paved. (One RWY 18 X 36)

Boston
After receiving our clearance and being told to "Monitor Ground" we were doing so. That is when I heard the following exchange:
AA XXX - "BOS Ground, AA XXX, Taxi."
Pregnant Pause.....
BOS Ground controller goes about his duties handing out instructions to those who know how to follow them and then again....
AA XXX: "BOS Ground, AA XXX - TAXI"
BOS Ground: "AA XXX, you were told to monitor. You're going to the bottom of the list."
BOS Ground, without missing another beat, continues to assign instructions to those that can listen and follow directions.
We had a thirty minute taxi-out to runway 22. We took off and still hadn't heard AA XXX receive their taxi clearance. NICE MOVE GUYS!!!
I guess it doesn't matter when you get paid block or better....ROFLMAO!!!

Cathay Pacific welcomed their passengers to SFO with a long winded speech last month on ground freq. I enjoyed that. It was pretty neat to listen to the ground controller play catch up. Some fast talking! She was nice about it though, made a joke.

hah. we used to program our gps to display "[insert name here] likes cheese." The CEO was at the stick one day while I was looking outside enjoying the scenery and he says, "hmm... Apparently Cole likes cheese." I just busted out laughing.

Approach: Lady your whole career has been a shortcut, you can wait in line with everybody else.
followed by...
Unidentified: Another empty kitchen...

cue debbie downer sound effect
everyone is free to hold all the steroetypes and opinions they want, but the frequency is not the place to tell someone that their whole career has been a shortcut. no professional pilot (man or woman) would ever like to hear that, especially not from someone who has never even met them, and through a medium where they cant even take the time defend themselves against such a comment. i wonder if these people would have the balls to say that to the stranger's face instead of making passive aggressive remarks behind their little mic.

I AGREE!!!!!! Thanks~
I don't mean to be a debbie downer in the fun and light hearted thread... but I've seen this same post several times in this thread. dont know if it's the same story being passed down, or it actually happens that often on the radio. how is this funny (or even acceptable) for a professional to blurt out on the radio? well OK let me rephrase that.. obviously that pilot WOULN'T be very professional in the first place for saying that on the radio.. how about the others who agree and laugh with this guy? if you could distinguish a black pilot on the radio, would you think it's OK to laugh after hearing someone comment, "another empty cotton field"?

I have two for you. Worked at flight school with Chinese students who spoke very little english
Center- "Skyhawk 27K, please say intentions"
Student Pilot- "To be an airline pilot"
Center-"Skyhawk 27K, do you have info Whiskey"
Student Pilot- "No sir, no alcohol on board."

You are right, it would be very unprofessional for a pilot to ask for a shortcut while eveyone else is waiting in line.
