For those who are flying the event, please take note of the updated reminders in the original event post, specifically the points that:

  • This is NOT a crossfire
  • Please consider Bradley/Hartford (BDL) as an option
  • For the love of airborne holding, please do not everyone fly between KBOS and CYYZ; the idea is, fly INTO CYYZ/KBOS/KBDL from OTHER places
For our neighbor facilities, we're going to ask for your support in mileage in trail as well as some slot restrictions. You'll get an email from our EC with that information shortly. Based on the forecast weather, Boston is going to be single runway (which is why we added CYYZ/KBDL to the event, even before the recent discussions on FNO changes). Really appreciate whatever you can do to help make this event as smooth as possible.

But can I fly between YYZ and BOS?

I'm not going to get into it with you because you hold a position in ZDC. I reported where I had the problem and how we as the pilots were getting hosed because the folks on the ground couldn't work together. Your comment about letting proceed just proves there is a problem by your answer. When we question the ATC pilots are to blame.

Sir now you are saying "the folks on the ground couldn't work together" but earlier you were saying that ZDC wasn't doing the job and holding people. ZDC can't do much when PHL can only take certain arrivals per hour. I wasn't the guy in charge or controlling enroute so I can't say much, however, I believe they tried their best to stop too much aircraft enters ZDC. However, if neighbor ARTCC keeps dumping traffic into ZDC, all they can do was to hold people until PHL clears up. If you see a tree's leaves turning brown, it might not be the leave's problem.
Now let's talk about why people were entering ZDC from Atlanta but not Indy. To make it simpler, let's just say ZDC was ok with that. Here's an example. There is a highway that having a traffic jam because the exit is jammed. There's also a traffic light to control traffic on the highway. The lane with green light can get on the highway and the lane with red light cannot. Sir you are sitting in the lane waiting for the red light and complaining about the traffic light and the highway.

You guys at DC love your metaphors. Call it what it was, a mess. You can't fault the pilots who got bounced around between Indy and DC as we were cleared and following instructions from take-off to holds. By the way, I'm not the one responsible for coordinating traffic, your guys are. So if I come-on here to voice my dissatisfaction don't try to make me the bad guy because their was too much traffic. I'm sure another DC controller will chime in. Your good at that. I'm out and done replying because it's getting nowhere.

You can't just say "controllers should coordinate" when that was happening the entire night between PHL and the facilities feeding into them, save for one bad apple that didn't wanted to be burdened with the inconvenience of doing air traffic on a network where we pretend to do air traffic. ZDC deserves none of your blame here, that should be placed on the facility that's not playing ball, because they're the ones that are making your time flying miserable.

And before you try it, no, I'm not a ZDC controller.

If you've got a problem with Canada gooses then you've got a problem with me, and I suggest you let that one marinate.

Missed a great opportunity to call it "Sausalito Summernight."
Forget about the airline. Let's take the car and save the fare.

We blew a gasket on the grapevine, and 80 dollars on repairs.

DVA will forever be discovery air so long as there are pilots misguided enough to fly under it as Delta
