As an American, we don’t have trams so I am confused. Don’t they run on tracks like trains? How do you compete against others? Not like you can take a wrong turn.

I saw that pop up and then quickly go away. What sort of dpuchenozzle is dumb enough to take such a moronic title?

“I talk to the computers so others don’t have to!!!”

I was listening to live ATC broadcast this evening for O’Hare ground control.

Jesus tapdancing Christ, no idea how they do it.

All you hear is a steady stream of instructions like “j1234, approach 10L and hold, then sierra sierra golf tango tango alpha” which are “directions” for pilots to taxi to a gate.

They are ripping them off at hyperspeed, no mistakes. The audio quality of some pilots is just terrible but somehow they know wtf they said. They have dozens of planes on the ground at a time, organizing the chaos of them all without blinking. In the hour I listened, I heard one dude doing it all, though I think there are two different ground controllers.

Planes blocking taxiways, pilots misunderstanding instructions, someone is taking too long to push back from the gate and they’re making changes and adapting on the fly.

Holy shit y’all.

Listen for yourself and try to figure it out. Audio: https://www.liveatc.net/play/kord1n2_gnd_in.pls Ground mapd: https://www.flightaware.com/resources/airport/ORD/APD/AIRPORT+DIAGRAM/pdf

Good luck.
