As an airplane passenger, you never really get to hear what's going on between the pilot and whoever they have to keep in contact with during the flight. As a person who does not work on an airplane and know's nothing about how they work, I've actually never even thought about that part. I figured it was just the pilots giving updates to the Tower and that's it. That might be true, but now that I've seen these hilarious voiceovers of Air Traffic Control (ATC) and pilots ripping on each other, I'm going to go with that is what actually happens.

Even though the TikToker really throws some airplane-savvy lingo in there, it's still hilarious to anyone watching. With many of his videos having well over 1 million views, it's obvious you don't have to be a pilot to get this humor. He has Delta and Spirit beefing over who's the better pilot and has the better airplane. He has the Tower talking smack on FedEx for always being late. He even has United about to kick the Tower's ass. It's pretty fun stuff.

Though it's all just made up in the name of comedy, I will never get on a plane again without wondering what kind of beef these pilots are going to get into our our flight.
