"Passengers if you look off to your left you will see Delta 1328 challenging us to a game of chicken"

[fubaralakbar]

It's easy to forget these people are human, until you hear one of them go "STOP STOP STOP!"

[rbnzo]

“Cleared for takeoff, winds 060 at Niner”

“Ahh another job well done rick *lays back in chair and glances at F*”

[wulfherecyning]

The Southwest asking "were we the ones cleared?" must have sighed a massive sigh of relief when he heard "yeah you were doing what you were supposed to be doin[g]"

[TheQuakeIV]

I like how the controller was like HRWEGUHASD28 STOP STOP STOP and neither could tell which one he was referring to so they both stopped.

[realitydrip]

That’s a tough call to your boss. “Yeah we had to abort our takeoff because we started to takeoff and shouldn’t have”.

[YourselfAndEye]

This was borderline funny. They both read back when 3828 got the take off clearance, and they both read back when he yelled at 1328 to stop.

ATC: Pay attention, similar callsigns
Both Pilots: Ok, WE'LL BE AWARE

*1 min later*
Both initiate takeoff no questions asked

I'll never complain about delays again on the runway O.o

[FrancoCastro]

My cousin was a cargo pilot in Alaska, he was among the youngest and pilots with fewer hours in her company she did a similar mistake and ended up crossing an active runway. She was sure she was about to get fired and her boss told her "Fire you? you just got one of the most valuable lessons in your life that you can't learn in any school"

[MidnightSt]

ATC: "Pay attention, similar callsigns."
Also ATC: "I will emphasize more the part of your callsigns that is similar, and mumble away at the Delta/Southwest part which is most dissimilar."

[basrinak]

Very nicely done- I love the color coding to help track who is who.

[jesslynch]

“STOP STOP STOP!” Thats loud and clear LOL

[stevecarter]

I'd much prefer the atcs have a pool of temporary callsigns they can draw from: southwest 3828 be advised, similar callsign on frequency, you are now known as "snoopy".

[ZekuChanU]

Both planes: “We are gonna call company”
Their companies: “Good stuff”

[ispanico]

That moment when you realise this is not Steam Edition.

I like how that lady controller talks very clearly as opposed to the guy who talks like he's in a auction house.

[haleiwasteve]

As a commercial pilot, I have the highest respect for ATC. Saying that, when hundreds of lives are at stake (or for that matter, even one life), it's important to clearly enunciate your words and if that means slowing down just a bit on the radio, then so be it.

[internetwnkr]

That "...and no delay..." instruction really help.... to make... both to do not dare to delay...

[zaabri]

Mistaking the callsign is one thing, but how did he listen to 31C and hear it as 04R is beyond me.
