Are airport controllers TRAINED LISTENERS? They NEED to be TESTED frequently. Apparently, this one is a POOR LISTENER and NEEDS a HEARING test. He couldn't UNDERSTAND what the pilot was saying about his copilot LEAVING and JUMPING out of the aircraft. HE seemed to CARE LESS about him, JUMPING OUT. I was able to hear LOUD and CLEAR. Have they recovered the copilots body? I hope so for his family's sake. My condolences to his family.1🙏🏼🕊

How would you like to get an air traffic controller helping you like that one.when something like that happens? He’s like do you need something

Well, in defense of the air traffic controller. This is not a typical call. it's not every day the pilot calls them to say the co-pilot jumped out of the back of the plane. Have some kindness towards the ATC. He was probably in shock from what he heard, I would be. Put yourself in his place, you wold be just as STUPID as you call him.

The co-pilot's name was Charles Hew Crooks. He was 23 and had the drug, Kratom, in his system. They were in their home and heard a loud thud outside. They didn't see anything in their backyard. Hours later, searchers found his body in a tree.

For those of you who keep saying the ATC is dumb, he is ACTUALLY doing his job correctly, without emotion. He keeps asking the pilot if he needs anything else i.e. circle to drop fuel, emergency crew on the ground, etc. ATC's are NOT SUPPOSED to freak out! There is a reason that they are FORCED to retire by age 56.
