How do you know which flights this exact pilot is flying?

@@remigiochilaule1961 he was departing San Jose The time and date of the recording is known. It is very likely that prior to departing San Jose he arrived into San Jose. By listening to the time frame before this flight at San Jose you can obtain the flight number he operated prior to the flight in question. You could then lookup that flight number and find the departure airport for that flight. That helps establish what other frequencies to expect to find the same crew (could be either pilot speaking). Liveatc has archives of many frequencies. It would not be difficult to do this, but very time consuming. The airline and FAA can do it much easier just knowing his schedule and having hopefully more efficient methods of retrieving recordings.

He may have been having radio issues. That being said, his fitness for duty would be something on my mind. How well is he focusing on the task at hand. His state of mind seems agitated. Just a thought.

@@trevornewton2646 that was my assessment, too. This guy did not strike me as "cockpit material."

@@vk2ig I don't hate the government, I'm pretty critical of it.

And before you say it I'm not a socialist, I'm college educated, and a military vet.

@@vk2ig As an outsider looking in it's not a suprise once you understand the fundamental principles of nation states and then look at how the US is organised. Short Version: All nation states are tribal. Not in the negetive sense of a bunch of thugs that you often here. but in it's most basic and original form. A group of people agreeing to band together for their mutual benefit. The modern nation state is a lot more complex than that simple description makes it sound, but all of that complexity is a result of and an expression of that basic underlying principle. That shared benefit and what they're banding together against is ultimately defined by a mixture of legal codes, concepts of social acceptability, and what we today call foreign policy, but is really just interactions with other tribal entities. All 3 of these also influence each other and change and evolve over time as a result. But in turn they create a shared identity. it's this shared identity that fosters a sense and a degree of unity. No two people in the entity are going to agree on exactly how to achieve results that benefit the tribe. But they'll generally agree on most of what is and is not a benefit to the tribe because they share such similar legal, social, and foreign codes. The issue in the US is that vast swathes of the legal code are different between different states. That in part creates and in part maintains very different social standards. And that drives different states, (especially those separated by significant distances), to take largely opposed ideologies. Each state is effectively it's own tribe and the combined legal/social standards of the state define the tribe identity. And inevitably this creates what amounts to foreign policy interactions of a negetive or positive nature between them. The only reason they're not in cold or hot wars with each other constantly is the existence of the federal government as that becomes the medium through which they act towards each other and the powers given to it mean the states can't easily defy it. But that combined with party politics means that depending on who's controlling what in it at the moment many states, (and by extension the majority of inhabitants within those states), view the Federal government as either an allied or enemy tribe. hey treat it in effect as another nation state who they're either friendly with or an enemy of. And in case your asking, "why doesn't it turn into a civil war every 5 minutes", the answer is a combination of the grievances not yet being enough to overcome their unwillingness to challenge the power of the federal government and their collective fear of external threats. A normal nation state is unified by a shared identity, the US is united more by an unwillingness to oppose the stronger federal government and fear of outside threats.

So strange how worked up people get over pressing a button or throwing a paper on election day right?

It happened to me. a year ago I was terrified of flying, and searched on KZfaq to see if I could find a video that could help me overcome my fear. A year later I've watched most of Petter and Kelseys videos, and I'm well through Noel Phillips' as well. On top of that I am member of the Mentour Pilot App and several aviation groups on Facebook. And when my boyfriend got the Flight Radar app for me, I got even more excited than when he gave me a brand new smartphone for my birthday. In other words - It's very addictive.

actually i thought only aviation geeks watched stuff like this xD

Same here dude. This guy is brilliant at making an esoteric subject easily understandable for us laymen. The extent of my aviation geekiness is throwing a piper cub around at treetop level in MSFS, just for sightseeing and thrills, but I'm always awestruck by the fact that these miracles of engineering can get off the ground - nevermind cruise, pressurized, halfway around the planet at 35,000 feet, and it happens a thousand times a day with no more drama than a ride on a bus. It almost makes a humanist out of me.

I and a partner had a rant that we unknowingly put out over the air after a briefing from our admin staff that I was less than impressed with. Fortunately, the dispatcher covered most of it by keying the main base station radio to block most of the transition. It happened because the mic was on the seat and a bag was put on it, activating the mic button. The only way we knew was this loud beeping started coming from the radio and I looked down to see the red transmit light was on! We later went to one of our inactive channels and held down the mic to see how long it took before that warning tone came over the radio. It was 90 seconds. This was in the mid-90s with a Motorola police radio. I bought that dispatcher dinner though. She saved our asses by blocking the transmission as soon as she realized what we were talking about. I've heard plenty of other hot/open mic incidents from others over the years. Many rather embarrassing and of a personal nature (like a coworker of mine going off on a tirade to his partner about his soon to be ex-wife and things like that). People usually don't live those things down, but it makes for great stories and lessons for new officers about what not to do! Lol.

And then calmed himself down in a natural way and gotten into the seat and taken deep breaths and cleared his mind and focused on the task ahead.

The stuff and generalizations he was making were just stupid, especially his support of "rolling coal." What if he was intoxicated, cause he certainly was acting like someone who is.

I've read comments here where some have said they are concerned that the pilot sounded agitated before he was flying. I actually had to wait on a flight that was over 2 hours late and the reason they told us the plane was late was because of a mechanical problem repair. (Great). When the flight finally got to the airport, the two pilots got off the plane one of them went over to the check-in desk and was getting something off the printer, the other one walked just a little bit out of the way like over to the next gate and got on his cell phone and was having some kind of argument with what I assumed to be his wife or partner. They were arguing about their child. It just reminded me of different sorts of arguments I've had with my husband on the phone because he works out of town. This pilot was raising his voice and saying things like I'm 15 hundred miles away... I'm not going to be home until Wednesday, so I just want to know, what you want me to do about it right now. I couldn't tell what the person on the other end was saying but you could definitely hear yelling and I thought to myself my goodness don't upset my pilot before he's got to get on this plane and fly it. Then you realize, Hey, they're just people like you and I are, they're going to be frustrated and agitated certain days. How many of us have gone to work mad or stresses and complained on the job? Now if he's not supposed to be having any other conversation at that point then that's a different story and he's definitely was breaking the rules but I had a chuckle too I mean we're all less than perfect that's us Catholics get down on our knees every Sunday and make our confession in front of each other that says, " I mess up from time to time".

It may have been worse, but it was a lot more entertaining. Just sayin' 😉 (Not justifying what he said, but it was a much more comedic rant.)

Except that incident 10 years ago happened at cruise altitude. Pilot discussing their infidelity and 'endeavors' during cruise isn't going to get you into dangerous situations (not that I want my daughter meeting guys like that in the future).

@@MentourPilot In fact, there is a video on KZfaq involving the infamous Kennedy Steve, on which we can hear a pilot make his PA on the air and afterwards almost every other pilot on the apron made fun of him, like saying « Nice PA », « Can I have peanuts? », etc.

I would want to get my family off of that aircraft immediately and ask the staff to return to the gate to let us off. A pilot in that angry and distracted emotional state is dangerous. His stated support for criminal mischief in traffic also shows a disdain for safe operation of vehicles and public safety that probably applies to how he flies aircraft. He is welcome to have and express his views in his private life but his mental state and views seem incompatible with being a safe and effective professional pilot.

@@stupidburp agreed 100% and very well stated

@@MrPomelo555 I remember that one!!! And I’m only the smallest fan of Kennedy Steve, I listened to a bunch for perhaps one day. But that one was really funny because so many pilots chimed in 😂😂😂

You'd think at the least the controller, when he knew they were listening again, would at least say "you might want to check for a sticking mic button" or something.

They were about to take off, if I'm not mistaken. "Cleared for your last ever takeoff" doesn't contribute to a sterile cockpit either.

I have no idea if SW did anything, however if I talked that way at work I'd be given my walking papers & showed the front door. Code of conduct.

His language probably got a lot spicier!

He knew while he was doing it. He didn’t give a crap. And that is good.

I would go one further and ask my copilot over the PA if he's ever flown this type of aircraft before, cause I haven't and if he's quick on his feet, he'll answer with a no 😆

spice things up with random quotes from the movie Airplane!

Doubtful.

The pilot was white. We all know he won't face any real consequences.

"see ya"

@@Ninjalectual stop being so racist man. It’s petty.

No way.

But this video made me wonder if his jokes ever landed him into trouble as many of those aircraft he was talking to and cracking jokes with were in a phase where they technically shouldn't even be made to laugh.

@@Hans-gb4mv I'm not ATC myself, but I suspect that Ground frequency is a bit different from, say, Tower, Departure, or Approach. If you are controlling ground traffic, things are moving slowly and the result of poor coordination is that things move slower. Far less risk than the air. On the ground, you might clip a wing, lose a wheel, or get somebody fired. In the air, the same magnitude of mistake will kill 200 people. Wisecracking and shaming tug operators who can't remember their own callsigns is probably the only way a Ground controller stays sane.

@@tombickers Ground control is just as important. A plane accidentally crossing an active runway could be devastating. (Runway incursion)

I noticed that he usually only cracked jokes when he was doing ground, and when things are calmer. Sometimes you can hear stuff is getting crazy on ground and he would stop messing around and concentrate on moving aircrafts around.

🤣

@@MentourPilot It's crazy how they just do it on people on the street. ......anyways love your channel.....take care.

Not just you, this pilot needs some cool down time. I think ATC should not have given take off clearance, without inquiring further.

Yeah, it's one thing to have a rant around the water cooler and another to have it when you're supposed to be working concentratedly.

@@zorktxandnand3774 Or once he took off and stabilised, given him a number to call when he got to his destination. You know, the good old "SWA51, possible pilot deviation, please call XXX-XXX-XXXX on arrival. Have a good day."

Aww, thank you!

Petter and Destin should do a collab. Destin was going for his ppl
