CAPTAIN JOE meets KENNEDY STEVE - The interview! / 16min

Description:
Dear friends and followers, welcome back and to the first proper interview on my channel.

I´ve have used "Kennedy Steve´s" voice in countless intro or to explain a ATC related question until I reached out to Steve via one of my videos. A day later he wrote me an e-mail and we planned out to meet for an interview at JFK airport.

So I took the next flight to JFK and met with Steve and flew back a couple of hours later.
You were so kind to send in the question you would like me to ask Steve about his life and career as an airtraffic controller.

Here are your most asked questions for Steve:

01:06 - Where die you start your career as an airtraffic controller?
01:23 - Which positions did you work on?
01:56 - How long were your shifts?
02:29 - Which was your favorite position?
02:52 - What´s your opinion on the JFK layout?
03:45 - Describe your work with Concorde?
05:14 - Have you dealt with emergencies at JFK?
07:12 - The Lufthansa pilot who got out of the plane?
08:21 - Do you have a favorite airline?
08:50 - Do you have a favourite airplane?
09:39 - Were you on duty during 9/11?
10:19 - Do you have a pilot license?
10:36 - Can you tell an ATC jokes?
11:22 - Do you have favorite aviation movie?
12:00 - Did you ever get in trouble with your supervisor?
12:45 - Why did you change your voice whilst talking to the tugs?
13:53 - Have you ever spoken to AirForceOne?

“OPINION: WHAT IS THE ME3... ...and why should we care?”
August 1, 2018
By Peter A. Bedell
All of the major U.S. airlines are taking a stand against three Middle Eastern carriers: Emirates, Etihad Airways, and Qatar Airways, together dubbed “ME3.” These airlines have expanded rapidly in the past 15 years and use widebody aircraft routed through hubs in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, as well as Doha, Qatar.

i saw a Qatar aircraft on the tarmac in DFW.
i’ve occasionally seen the others, sometimes on Boeing property in WA, fusilage wrapped in green, preparing for delivery.
i’ve fantasized many times about getting a small job at that location. it’s exciting to drive by, there’s a pull-off for drivers to stop and view aircraft destined for the world. sometimes fusilage is transported in-out by rail.

it’s all quite a sight for me.
