Oh the memories. That ground controller is well known at Kennedy as a major deushbag. I think he has yelled at me once or twice. He yells at everyone, doesn't matter who you are. That's just their attitude over there. I always felt bad for the foreign carriers whose first language is not English. Nothing like welcoming them to our country with such a bad attitude on the ground controller's part.

Lol, heard that before. My friend's dad works JFK tower and he has many a story like this one (and no hes not the deushbag lol)

English is the universal language, and to be fair while the guy should not have yelled like that I can understand why. If you're going to fly, especially to an English speaking country, you had better learn to understand and speak it 110%. At an airport like JFK a mistake like this on the runway could have led to a major disaster

Search Youtube. People using scanners have put together several videos of this guy and his rants. Pretty funny unless you're on the receiving end.
