Say What?

Another friend of mine, and one that went through the academy with me is QK. She's a riot to work with, though most people don't "get" what the hell we're laughing about. All the time.

Anyway, she was working the Toledo sector for the second day in a row during the noon departure rush. They were coming out steady from Detroit, and she kept pumpin' them up, handing them off, and climbing them out of her airspace.

She took several handoffs and here's what happened next.

"Cleveland Center, Northwest twenty-six, out of eight thousand for one-three thousand."

"Northwest twenty-six, Cleveland Center roger, climb and maintain one-six thousand. The Toledo altimeter, two-niner-niner-eight."

Before the Northwest could respond someone keyed up and broadcast "OH NO, IT'S YOU!"

A quick scan showed her one of the handoffs she'd taken was a general aviation aircraft that she'd kind of dicked over the day before.

We both got a good laugh out off the situation.

And it just goes to show, you might only be a voice, but everyone still knows who you are.
