No he was not a controller. Technician.

I thought you guys were on guard giving position reports when that happened.

Went into ORD last night. First early arrival in 3 days. Canceled and rescheduled today. As usual, the controllers did a great job with what they were working with.

That's United, to be really quickly corrected by American.

United is too busy making PA's on guard.

It sucks when I'm trying to call ramp on guard and they step on me.

No, the marvins mainliners are always asking for a ride report as soon as they check on.

A few months ago I heard an American guy give about a 20 minute PA on guard. We were flying from LA east. Of course, we heard all about how he learned to fly at the Grand Canyon airport and, my word, there's the Grand Canyon to the left.

You should have heard the responses on guard. Classic ****!!

I want a land line!

I was on the land line a few minutes ago. Yes, I flushed twice.
