Legend has it US50 is still waiting for the fire trucks even though his airline hasn't existed for seven years.

As a person who relies on captions, these are the worst captions.

Nothing to see here, just pilots roasting pilots who public announce on the public channel

Also can hear Kennedy Steve there at the end. You just know he's sitting in Tower letting the roast happen and laughing his ass off.

Can confirm, pilots WILL take the piss out of you if you fuck up on frequency.

Tradition that started with Yeager and other pilots in the early space program trying to emulate him.

As a controller I have had this happen. Usually ask the other pilots to rate it 1-10.

So y'all actually read stuff this way or is that the worst subtitle ever?

There's a website or an app that does this. You can actually read faster this way

Oh it’s the worst subtitle ever. You’re right about that.

But what about the fire??? Are they ok??

4 years ago | Likes 297 Dislikes 1

Did you not hear the guy say something about a burn? The pilot is on fire!

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

You have 2 types of fire. Controlled and uncontrolled. This is very much controlled.

If you notice it before taking off you and all the passengers are gonna be ok

I'm guessing a different plane is on fire, causing the delay the pilot is talking about.

They all died. It was one of worse plane fire in history. But wasn't that a funny conversation between pilots lmao

Where are you getting that?

Their ass. Cactus is the call sign for US Airways, and at no point has a US Airways flight 50 been involved in any noteworthy incidents.

So why is the comment upvoted and everyone asking for a source downvoted?

4 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

No clue. Maybe the downvoters thought there was an obviously implied /s and it was stupid to ask. Personally, if I see a genuine request,

None. No Cactus (US Airways) flight 50 has ever been involved in a serious incident.

Plane's on the ground and I seriously doubt there are passengers on board or they'd be making a different call. They're fine :)

So who’s he just try to talk to? His mom?

The pilot who radioed the possible fire isn't the one who did the PA.

How would it be different with pax on board? If the engine’s been shut down, the next step is to get it looked at by fire services to

determine whether an evacuation is needed or the plane can taxi to a bay on the other engine.

4 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 0

I was thinking more for larger fires since we're talking about potential loss of life, but yeah small engine fires don't get imemdiate evac.

4 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

If the pilot is asking for an external inspection, it seems implied that the engine has been secured, meaning the fire has been
