I'm doing some research on it but it sounded like the United pilot (the woman) may have been young and the male pilot might have been foreign... -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

It's amazing how this stuff works and how they keep track of all these planes.

Plug into the seat radio and turn to channel 9, it's live communication between the pilots and ATC. Really neat, especially when going into large airports or when you think you are in the air alone and you hear your flight referenced as crossing traffic and you look at the window and see a plane go below you. There is a lot to keep up with in the cockpit, especially when you're unfamiliar with the destination airport. The first time I flew into Love field with my grandpa in his plane my head was spinning from all of the traffic. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
