My biggest wtf about pilots is how they ever understand people on the radio.

Literally every time I hear aero radio chats I find it near-impossible to make out wtf they're saying

@ljs
Not a pilot, but I guess pilot messages are relatively domain specific, so could have lower entropy than general language, which can help as the brain can map the noisy comms to far fewer possible sentences

@bencardoen yeah that makes sense, but you have to make out things like frequencies, and like the waypoint names and that and so you have also have to make things out.

But I guess again you adapt with experience.

I'd be panicking hearing 'golf hotel fiver nine heavy, ascend to flight level 270 abeam papa delta echo'

probably reply 'screech! SCREECH!' and brachiate like the not so great ape I am

@lkundrak we'd make great ape pilots.

I mean everybody would die but we'd be screeching like kings

@pony @lkundrak I think they're a great historic reenactment society.

Vintage planes, drunk pilots

@ljs @lkundrak i loved that scene the last year or so when they had to show a us drone that they are true kings of the sky and proceeded to dangerously push it out of the sky nearly crashing own planes

@pony @lkundrak yeah they're hilariously shit like the rest of the military.

It's only numbers that mean they can do anything at all

@lkundrak I travelled on aeroflot years ago before the war.

Seemed ok but everything was SO delayed.

Flew on hilariously obvious Russian copy of airbus on one leg
