@@mfs10131yup. They have LESS controllers at Philly than when they left New York. Also radar feed is still run through New York tracon then piped through a Verizon cable which has bandwidth issues. Both FAA and NATCA hypocrites when it comes to safety
The entire FTI program is a gigantic technology shit-show. First Harris, then Verizon and now T-Mobile I think? None of them had a clue what they were doing and it's been non-stop issues, every freaking day with outages and failures through the NAS. You guys have no idea just how many issues there are... Used to be the FAA ran and owned the lines for data & comms, but thanks to asshats like former congressman John Mica, they contracted that all out (first to Harris corp, his biggest political contributor... I wonder why they got the 1st nod?) to "save money" and that the private sector could do it better and cheaper. Hows that working out? Then the FAA brain-trust moves EWR sector to PHL out of N90, with fewer controllers, and has to pump all that data over a shit data line that isn't able to handle the throughput. FKN Brilliant!
As someone who's worked an IT Service Desk call center when "things went down and the bedpans hit the fan", this ATC's cool and calm attitude during a high stress and volume period is amazing. Is he our next Kennedy Steve?

Super TUUUUG 5! I'm going to try to remember to use that whenever I say someone's name and they don't respond 🤣 Seriously, so much professionalism shown from both sides, with GND **literally** deserving a paid year off after that performance.
This sucked for sure but GND was amazing! And the pilots were chill. I’m ATC on Vatsim, still training for Local so I do GND, DEL and Ramp. In the Seattle ARTAC. I’ve worked some events that were a total S show similar to this. Holds all over the place. Have you thought about getting on the Sim and doing some online ATC just for fun? We always love to have some irl ATC on board to spread some knowledge and experience.
I have flown countless times over many years and loved every minute of it, until a recent flight out of Denver. We we're delayed on the ground for just 30 minutes, but for the first time in my life I suddenly had claustrophobia. It was all I could do to keep from freaking out and ending up on the evening news. Once we started moving I was okay. Now I'm afraid to fly, not because of flying, but because of situations just like this in Newark and being stuck on the ground and unable to get off the plane.
Yikes! Can you get some anti anxiety meds for situation like this? Just so you can mellow and take a nap while you wait? Cuz hate holds and other ground issues can happen fairly often. Maybe not this bad but a long wait is not uncommon at certain airports.
I'm surprised there wasn't a bunch of calls from crews timing out and needing to return to the gate. Everyone seemed surprisingly able to accommodate the delays without it being a concern.
@@andij605 Fuel can be saved by shutting down the mains and using the APU to keep all the hydraulic and electrical systems running.

I thought this was for today (October 11th 2024), as today N90 lost again their radar due to technical issues. Average delays 109 minutes and several diversion. I was like damn VASAviation is quick again! Haha
The FAA really sold United a bag of poo when they said moving EWR sector to Philly would fix delays. They have less people at Philly and are using a radar feed from New York that is piped through a Verizon cable that has bandwidth issues when there is a lot of traffic.
Verizon seems to be having problems with high availability critical infrastructure across the country. Central Plains states have frequent 9-1-1 outages spanning wide geographic areas. Often due to Verizon infrastructure. Perhaps the FCC needs to step up and investigate this too.
Rumors have it they still looking out for Super tuuuug 5! Well handled by the guy. Amazing to hear him still greeting now aircrafts on frequency so friendly. Btw, I think at 1:16 he says "I'm not sure you heard the good news"
Frankly if I were a pilot on one of those planes I don't think I'd even announce to the passengers that we were Number 40 for departure. It might cause a mutiny!
@@jonathankleinow2073 From what I understand back in July, they moved personnel for arrivals and departires from Long Island to Philadelphia, in order to in their words help with congestion, while keeping the radar equipment in Long Island. It was not a popular move
@@jonathankleinow2073 they moved an entire area of airspace out of a building that worked cohesively for years, yet did nothing to ensure they could support the move. 23 people are now doing the jobs of over 40, and they know there are problems with the tech at the least. This is just what yall happened to find out about…
I arrived at EWR around 2:45pm on Friday for my 4:10pm flight to PIT. Shortly after I cleared security I saw that my departure was pushed by 45 minutes. Three gate changes, an inbound aircraft change, and four hours late we were finally wheels up.
Years ago I was a passenger on a flight from Heathrow to Rome. Just after we moved from the gate French ATC went on one of their unannounced strikes, then Rome got hit by bad weather. we were shuffled off to a far corner of LHR, and waited, and waited, after an hour or so being fed and watered by BA we were told the flight was going to be diverted to Milan. A nice uneventful flight to Milan, cabin were really very helpful and made sure I didn't have to get a coach to Rome as I was going to Milan. I arrived in my hotel before I was due to arrive at the station!!!
Lots less stressful when everyone is safely on the ground.👍 You can shut down anytime you want and not have the "distractions" of an emergency. Sort of like being in a sim, you can always bunch the big red "FREEZE" button! 🤪 Not a great time to be the crew in back, of course...😳
The intro to the whole thing (I listen to Newark ATC everyday) was a pilot asking so we heard a dirty rumour that there are some radar issues…” ATC (not the one here): yea and we know nothing at this time so.
Controller was amazing given the circumstances. Though I do wonder if giving everyone a minimum time (not an ETA, just a "don't even bother trying to fly if you can't stomach this delay") would have helped decrease workload?
No way to predict minimum times. This happened yesterday as well at Newark and we were unaware of times. We shut down both engines and talked to dispatch. They were hearing another hour+ before departures could start again and told us to return to gate. Within 2 mins of them saying that, ground told everyone to start up the engines and they were starting departures again
Can somebody who works in ATC tell me why a ramp controller would allow Spirit (or any departure) to push off the gate when ground is telling pilots he's running out of room? Do Ramp and Ground not talk to each other or coordinate? EDIT: This isn't a criticism, I really don't know how a lot of things happen on the ATC side so I'm genuinely wondering how the ramp to ground relationship works and if its a EWR specific thing
Armchair ATC chatter enjoyer here, and considering the number of times I've heard controllers (especially Kennedy Steve) ask pilots on frequency to tell the ramp controller something or ask what the heck they're doing, I don't really think ramp and ground/tower controllers work too closely together.
@@jakint0sh that’s the impression I get too. And I think at some airports, particularly hubs, the ramp controller works for the airline itself but I’m still confused why there seems to be a lack of communication
I wonder if the ATC has children as that was as they really kept their cool well as for them it must have seemed akin to having a car full of children on a seven hour car ride going, "Are we nearly there yet?" before you have even reached the end of your road. Admittedly the pilots handled it much better than my sister used to. I heard they are putting in one of those ticket dispensers you used to get at deli counters at the start of the taxiways and a number display next to the runway.
There was a video a few years ago when perhaps Kennedy Steve was working ground and the airport had been shut down and had just reopened and he was getting the birds out on a conveyor belt. Anyone have a link to that video? That was like clockwork that video
I know the companies put pressure on the pilots to get a delay in minutes, but it must be really annoying for the controllers who in situations like this are already juggling a hundred things to keep being asked how long the delay will be by every aircraft in the queue
Can't wait for the "Karen" videos to start popping up from this cluster. Nothing worse for a passenger than sitting on a plane with the engine shut off, humidity and temps rising, and no freaking idea when and if you are ever going to take off. Add in a missed connection and a few entitled passengers and you have all the makings for a fun time. How many will have to return to the gate for fuel issues? Remind me never to fly out of JFK or Newark.
Newark is fun to watch them land....coming in nearly sideways because of a crosswind, then they get the neck snapping jerk straight ahead on touchdown.
Yes. They shut down the engines. And run essential systems through the APU. And also use the APU for bleed air re-start. Another reason the air conditioning shuts off in the cabin prior to engine start. Remember they’re only carrying the amount of fuel to get to their destination plus reserves. If they burn fuel “sitting” they start to get into their minimum fuel for the trip. Sometimes they need to go back to the gate for refuel other times pilots get timed out.
Why are they piling them up on the taxiway rather than keeping them back at the gate and get them taxing as they are ready? I can understand queing up a few but this is to much. Also that flight controller news he would be on this channel when he said "Supertuuuug 5", lol.
I thought that was funny as well but it also shows how aware the controller was. As chaotic as things were he knew exactly what was happening on the field.
