Same story every time... And this time they want fuel in minutes. Last time in pounds. Americans is a special breed of people. "If we CAN make it complicated - let's do it!!"
Why in America do they ask for fuel in pounds at some airports/ ATC centres, then others want it in minutes. Surely fuel in weight is a lot easier to deal with than minutes, different aircraft burn fuel in different quantities per minute.
You kind of answered your own question. If different aircraft burn fuel at different rates, then asking for pounds puts an additional calculation burden on the controllers, it's a lot more efficient to say "we can stay in the air for xxx minutes"
Fine job all around. I wish ATC would hand off fuel and pax numbers to the next controller, it seems to be a bothersome and frequent event.
Inefficient management by controllers
If only there was a memory item for the “smoke/fumes” checklist to don oxygen masks…oh wait
Fumes are in the cabin!
Could they make it sound like Harrison Ford any harder if they tried?
Not sure why they didn't declare a Mayday?
They declared an emergency either one is exceptable
I hate the delta maintenance
boeing later gets fired on by daily mail journalists
Why o why o why does the next controller ask about the souls on board and fuel remaining AGAIN ?? That's just BS............
HERBERT, YOUR LANGUAGE IS MOST UNSEEMLY.
And she said she'd pass along the info to approach😂

I agree, just crap
@@matthewa8713 Exactly, can't be too hard of a task, right ?
You need a pop filter on your mic, bro
"Guard the brakes"? What kind of language is that?
What phraseology would you have used to be more clear?
@@MichaelCarrPilot "Check the brakes after landing"?
@ so they just check and leave instead of guarding is the better option?
@@MichaelCarrPilot Yes exactly like you said 🙄
Fire guard for possible hot brakes from overweight landing.
