Woman screws up a clearance, ground reads it back to make her understand.

Enjoy

Is this supposed to be funny? I'm not a pilot so none of that stood out.

Not quite as good as the Toronto arrival controller referring to a female Jazz pilot as a "dumb f*ing C-word" over the air while he had a stuck mic...

That would suck. That's almost like having a student teach the teacher.

it's not funny, he was making sure she had the right information, it's a safety issue, that's his job.

The guy is a salamander, I don't really find it funny. Maybe it's the 20th time he's giving her the clearance. Anyway, she does it right, she reads it back slow too. What are the last words of Clearance, before "good night"?

Now yesterday at SLC, a Skywest guy didn't pushed the right button and tied up SLC ground at rush hour for a couple of minutes:

"L&G, ty for joining us tonight, we will be pushing back shortly, we will be flying at 37,000ft, we expect a good ride, temp at destination is XX, Gina will be taking care of you tonight, she's really great. Seat back, relax, enjoy your ride with us."

Ground exploded with pilots comments:

"I'll take a coke please"
"Nice SOP"
"Oh yeah, I know Gina"
"good one"
"ohhhh ... I like Gina"
"Bravo!"
"All those buttons, must be confusing"
"DoHwwwwwwwe!"

Till grd had to regulate with "ok guys, free the frequency now".
