The best thing about Kennedy Steve is how chill he is with the foreign pilots. It seems like the majority of ATC’s that get posted on channels like these get frustrated right away. But he always seems to stay so composed with them
Yeah his change in tone when he hears a foreign pilot is great. It’s way better than the arguing you hear between ATC in the US and pilots who don’t speak native English, with US ATC not using standard phraseology.
5:17 Not surprising Flagship didn't get the message in time...Delta 474 appears to be confused @4:26 and tells "company" (most likely dispatch in Atlanta) that Chicago is ground stopped. While Delta dispatch could certainly call Flagship dispatch in Minneapolis and pass on the message, it would take a lot longer than if Delta 474 had just called ramp operations (which is what I think Steve was getting at).
Haha, I was just thinking the same thing! I would totally do that if I were a Tug driver there :p I mean, working with a Ground controller like that, you have like endless possibilities for awesome comebacks :D And he would probably love it too ^^
I tried watching one of these videos, that showed a top-view diagram of the airport with all of the taxiways labeled. I wanted to try and make sense of what I was listening to, Lol!!!! Let's just say..., I respect ATC/Ground Controllers a helluva lot more now!!!!! Lol.......
After spending 4 days on a recording and editing binge, it's nice to come onto UA-cam and hear Kennedy Steve's voice doing what he does best! Thanks H8
+H89SA Maybe that's it. I was wondering a little why Steve tried giving him such a complicated instruction, but if they're usually good then that explains it. The poor pilot was clearly floundering on the readback--his relief when Steve recognized the problem and simplified things was pretty funny (totally understandable, but still funny).
+brownpcsuncedu Yeah, they're really good. I've flown with Turkish on couple occassions and the service is on top level, everyone speaks good English, especially pilots.
Just found your channel this morning and have enjoyed it for most of the day almost non stop!!You have the knack of making a pilots job fun with humor or make him cringe and promise himself never to make a mistake while your on ground freq. I absolutely love it! Please keep them coming.Thanks Steve
No, it's "the" that sounds very pronounced when it's said by a Brit, plus the radio treble and the stretching of the word. Becomes "It's theee VIRGIN10K"
These recordings remind me of my years as a big city police dispatcher, like ATC Ground in a different setting...when air traffic was dense it was like juggling with 8 balls at once
Great video! I was never interested ATC traffic until your channel, particularly Kennedy Steve. Roughly how long does it take you to make these videos?
Jesus chris that Virgin Atlantic pilot sounded so classy with British accent and giant 747 or 340! Goes to show, when you hot a classy airline, you got a classy crew haha!
Fascinating to listen to 👍 as a non aviator 👩✈️ what is the ramp please ? Upmost respect to this chap Steve in doing what he does day in day out - amazing 👌
WizardSoon That’s what I was thinking. Guy sounds like he really enjoys what he’s doing and is glad to be there, one of my favorite pilots I’ve heard over ATC.
Well shortened is always used in relation to runway desginations and basically means that you are not going to use the full runway but a "shortened" part because you taxi onto the runway and then take off. "short" is usually used in connection with "hold" and basically means "stop there"
A 'Heavy' is an aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 300,000 lbs or more. The 'Super' designation is given to the Airbus A380 (MTOW 1.2m lbs) and Antonov AN-225 (MTOW 1.4m lbs).
+Air Plane He's probably on the "other" side of the airport, which antenna of the guy who sends feed to liveatc can't pick up. Antenna on tug vehicle isn't that strong, they usually work in 2-3km area.
They are all taught to speak this way at English Pilot School by Hugh Grant, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston etc. Tom Hardy, Daniel Craig and Charlie Hunnam teach them how to handle bad passengers! Something like that! Ahem!
Tug drivers generally have their head shoved so far up their point of contact that they need to have a glass bellybutton installed so they can look out and see what the rest of us are doing.
He is not rude at all. He speaks with confidence, I would feel very comfortable with him. He has a sense of humor which lightens the mood. He speaks clearly (personally I like his voice) and he even speaks slower when he notices non-English speakers have some trouble with English. If you want to hear rude and arrogant and stupid: ua-cam.com/video/ZWOOKQlEe5s/v-deo.html I cannot imagine this happening to Kennedy Steve. And if you want to hear disrespectful: ua-cam.com/video/ilQHP8PgHWs/v-deo.html This one takes the top.

Like how quickly he adapted the instructions to the Turkish after the initial bad read back.
Jeff Craig he could either
A) attempt with questionable success to have them get it right
OR
B) amend to a far shorter, more straightforward route
I noticed that! Steve was a master of communication, and he did it with warmth and wit. I'm sure the pilots miss him.

0:38 Do you think the tug drivers ever come up with a creative response to that question? Like "Disneyland! But I'd settle for Mika-Alpha."
Haha, I was just thinking the same thing! I would totally do that if I were a Tug driver there :p I mean, working with a Ground controller like that, you have like endless possibilities for awesome comebacks :D And he would probably love it too ^^
SomeCoolName KS would not like that. He has no time for tugs lol
He would unless IT IS The crawling Zug twoo

For some reason i find it relaxing: Am I the only one in the world listening to ATC youtubes to fall asleep? 😂✈️
Inge Wenzel i thought i was!
I've chosen to fall asleep to ATC a couple of times as well. Ya not alone. 😁
Nope. I love it
Most of times not really getting what's up, but jeah my new white noise is ATC
Nope... ;)
Keep 'em coming!! Do it Kennedy Steve!
Awesome as always. Thanks so much for taking the time.
Turkish Airlines pilot didn't seem to speak English very well though.
+theytguy1 Maybe they were tired, they usually speak very good English. :)
+H89SA Maybe that's it. I was wondering a little why Steve tried giving him such a complicated instruction, but if they're usually good then that explains it.

+brownpcsuncedu Yeah, they're really good. I've flown with Turkish on couple occassions and the service is on top level, everyone speaks good English, especially pilots.
@@brownpcsuncedu (Two years late, too!) Might also be the accent; the New York accent isn't one of the easiest in the world to understand sometimes.
God,I've done about 15 of these Atc videos today.hey are sooooooo addictive ..thank you for uploading them.✈✈
Love when he "throws" that words on different languages haha !
The pilot in Virg10K sounds exactly like Alan Rickman the actor. I wonder if that is natural or practiced. LOL I loved Alan Rickman.
Natural English......plain clear and educated!

JetBlue 702 was funny!
OMG he is funny! I just love these!
Did the VIR10K say Good evening STEVE at 4:50? It's transcribed as "it's", but it sounds to my like Steve... Like he know who he was talking to...
+Sean Farrell Nah, he said it's the Virgin, but sounds like Steve. :)
Sean Farrell yes, good evening, Steve
Good STEVEning.
No, it's "the" that sounds very pronounced when it's said by a Brit, plus the radio treble and the stretching of the word. Becomes "It's theee VIRGIN10K"
@@TheOfficialSethos It sounded to me like he was starting to say "Speedbird."
Wow, almost 11000 subs! :) Thank you guys for watching! :)
you are welcome :)
Thanks for taking the time to do these.
+BobcatBob99 Thank you! :)
+H89SA Your awesome!
+H89SA well just subbed so you should be even closer to 11000 now ;D

+Julius Leonard (juju4396) Thank you very much. Roughly, 5 minutes of the video take maybe 4-5 hours to edit.

Yeah. He had a good voice that guy for sure.
keep it coming dude. great job . greatings from turkey
+Ümit Yiğit Çok teşekkür ederim! :)
Well what can I say, marvelous :)
Although for some reason, that JetBlue-pilot makes me think of the Joker from Batman. Slightly disturbing XD
+Courier6 Haha. :) Thank you for watching!
Awesome as always!
+Charlene Vickers Thank you!
0:58 British airways still operate their 757's? I thought they retired them a long time ago.
+Emmanuel Pacamalan Yeah! Is this recording 10 years old? Or did he mean 777?
I believe it is the open skies 757 which flies from Paris To JFK with British airways colours on its tail.
Shane Donnellan oohh yeah.. forgot about that one.. that could be it.
+Marcin Panek Haha this happened in September. :)
Looks like KS knows a bit of French
Because he likes Air France female pilots?
4:52 calling him by name, nice
Fascinating to listen to 👍 as a non aviator 👩✈️ what is the ramp please ? Upmost respect to this chap Steve in doing what he does day in day out - amazing 👌
Ramp control is controlling parking positions at airport.
Thank you 👍🏾🛩
+Nathan Blease Thank you!
+H89SA no no THANK YOU
No love for Jetblue 702?
WizardSoon That’s what I was thinking. Guy sounds like he really enjoys what he’s doing and is glad to be there, one of my favorite pilots I’ve heard over ATC.
I love how KS spells "Air Berlin"
I have a question, which European countries fly to Kennedy airport? And do most of them speak terrible English?
Lots of airlines from all over the world fly into JFK and most of the crew have good English.
What do “shortened” and “short” mean?
Well shortened is always used in relation to runway desginations and basically means that you are not going to use the full runway but a "shortened" part because you taxi onto the runway and then take off. "short" is usually used in connection with "hold" and basically means "stop there"
Maximilian Reuter thanks
American Super Tug: "I'd like to go to Hawaii but I'll settle for..." wherever he's actually trying to get to...
What is the difference between "heavy" and "super"? Anybody know?
Boeing 747 heavy airbus A380 super the weight/ size if iam right
A 'Heavy' is an aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 300,000 lbs or more. The 'Super' designation is given to the Airbus A380 (MTOW 1.2m lbs) and Antonov AN-225 (MTOW 1.4m lbs).
One begins with a “H” and the other begins with a “S” 🤪
"Short of Novemberrrrrr...."
What is "Flagship"?
Endeavour air
British 757 at jfk??
Has he suddenly started a French language course? lol
What time is he on shift every day?
Anyone know who FLAGSHIP is ???
Why couldn't we hear the American Tug that talked to him after Delta Tug 4?
+Air Plane He's probably on the "other" side of the airport, which antenna of the guy who sends feed to liveatc can't pick up. Antenna on tug vehicle isn't that strong, they usually work in 2-3km area.
+H89SA There's also the issue of the tugs being short, and thus the antenna height is quite low. A couple feet of elevation can make a big difference
BA 757 he must be on about openskies as thats the only ones in BAW livery
2:55 guys, he's funny
I heard "wait for Taco"
Idk if its just me, but all British pilots sound the exact same
+DreamChaser1366 They have perfectly clear accent on the frequency. :)
+DreamChaser1366 I dunno, that VIRGIN 10K HEAVY sounded kinda weighty with authority.
Wat??
+DreamChaser1366 it's because they just have the 1 pilot!
They are all taught to speak this way at English Pilot School by Hugh Grant, Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston etc. Tom Hardy, Daniel Craig and Charlie Hunnam teach them how to handle bad passengers! Something like that! Ahem!
how do these guys get a pilots license?...same way the truckers do i guess geez
Ponderous!
I like JetBlue 702.
Now at 57 thousand!!
Airberlin 😍😔
Virgin actually sounds like Hans Gruber.
I'd like to see him fly his little tank into JFK, though...
Someone explain what his issue is with the tugs on these videos.
Tug drivers generally have their head shoved so far up their point of contact that they need to have a glass bellybutton installed so they can look out and see what the rest of us are doing.
Notice on various ATC that Turkish either has difficulty in feedback or on comprehending ground instructions.
