Not in Command
“I worked at the flight service station in Yellowknife, Canada. There we have a control tower and FSS. Tower had the radios at that time of day. Pilot reports smoke in the cockpit, declares an emergency.
He was 20 minutes out, and there’s nowhere else to land, so he just continuing to come here. In the interim, emerg procedures put in place, Airport Firefighters are out in force. And out comes captain jerkface from the cops. BANGING on my door.
There’s really nothing he could possibly do except make noise and be in the way. Not long after he stomps back down and I hear him radio some nonsense about “who do they think they are? IM IN COMMAND!”” Story credit: Reddit / Marilius
