Stupid.

Maybe it was take your kid to work week in the FAA?

The sad thing is, I bet this kid did a better job than some air traffic controllers currently on the job.

Who cares, the planes landed safely!
Most do NOT nowadays!

Unacceptable. I had a sense of nervousness even if they were sitting on dad's lap who was already there anyway.

 

[HELLRAISER]

Since Apple is currently hiring children this kid should send them his resume

No big deal his dad was there ,telling him what to say & hes been doing it for long enough & Im very sure these pilots no the score anyway

The little guy was only saying what his dad would have anyway & you could tell the pilots were humouring him and didnt mind

TBH I think its a nice wee story & a mountains getting made out of a molehill

That's it. I'm never flying out of JFK.

The news media is making far too much of this.

 

[Sparky Shortz]

Unacceptable 100%

JFK is one of my favorite airport in the world, but whoa it's shocking to have a kid in the ATC directing some planes! :eek: The pilots understood the kid and thought it's funny though.
