Sorry about the delayed reply. It's been a busy week.

I don't understand how taking your job seriously has become dehumanizing.

Seriously, it was about wanting to take his job for acting like a human. I think a reprimand or fine would be more in line.

How does this With all the indignities the FAA and the airlines put their customers through, relate to the procedures in a control tower? It smacks of sour grapes, and when tied with firing the dad, it sounds like revenge. Did someone serve you stale peanuts or something?

Last year, a Delta pilot and co-pilot were "chatting" and flew 100 miles past the Minneapolis approach. They lost their licenses, or should I say, were dehumanized. Those guys missed an airport. The kid (and his dad) missed nothing.
Are you suggesting that pilots not chat during a flight?
