All those air traffic controllers will be fined big time for trying to locate airplanes who are not on the right frequency. According to the document, the frequency may only be used for emergencies.

Yes, because losing contact with an airplane isn't a potential emergency :rolls eyes:

There goes all of Delta's profits if this is actually enforced.

I wish pilots would stop transmitting on guard. Just one pilot advising you are transmitting on guard is enough. There is no need for everyone to chime in.

Good news, IMO.
I fly a limited amount each month in the US or sometimes not at all. When I do, the clown show on guard at times is unbelievable. We should be embarrassed as U.S. professional pilots. I rarely hear anything similar internationally. A little self-enforcement on the flight deck would go a long way. Making a transmission in error is going to happen now and then. Most times it's self-critiquing and no one needs the barrage of idiots notifying us all of the error.

I fly mostly in the western US. The clown show is far more predominate in the east for some reason. It's getting annoying to fly east of the Mississippi now.

Gawd, I wish they would find a way to identify and deal with those idiots who think that 121.5 is their own personal comedy channel. As the prior poster opined, the clown show is embarrassing.

Reason being there are about 4 times more aircraft aloft in the east at any given time. Ever fly in and out of the NYC/Philadelphia/DCA airports? Not trying to justify the clown show but with more flights come more pilots and the likelihood is that much greater of a clown flying an airplane. BTW are we sure these are all "professional" pilots doing this?

Between jet blue looking for a frequency and delta calling jfk ramp, the fcc/faa will be funded for the next decade on fines alone. Oh and someone needing a limo and catering at tetorboro.
