Pilot Calls ATC an Idiot at LaGuardia – Captain Explains Captain Steeeve 2025-10-03 | Get $5 off your next order through my link https://sponsr.is/magicspoon_steeeve or use code STEEEVEat checkout, or look for Magic Spoon on Amazon and in your nearest grocery store!Special thanks to our friends over at VASAviation for collecting the ACT audio. Their work is important to aviation, please go and support them. @VASAviationIt’s not often that the public gets to hear what happens when a pilot and air traffic controller clash — and even rarer to hear the follow-up call between the captain and the ATC supervisor. After a tense moment at LaGuardia where a frustrated pilot called a controller an “idiot,” a phone call with the operations manager revealed a very different tone.In this video, Captain Steeeve reacts to both sides of the exchange — the heated moment on the radio and the much calmer, professional discussion that followed. He explains why these situations are so stressful, why it’s unusual to hear the behind-the-scenes phone calls, and how both sides ultimately handled things well once the dust settled.For business inquiries email us at: captainsteeeve@wearebv.comFor press or general questions: peter@541co.comDisclaimer: Captain Steeeve is not a spokesperson for any airline or aviation authority.
