It just had to be Spirit, didn't it??
Listen to this:
ATC: Pay attention Spirit 1300 ... Spirit 1300 turn 20 degrees right now. Spirit Wings 1300! Turn 20 degrees right - immediately!
Spirit pilot: 20 degrees right, Spirit Wings 1300.
ATC: Pay attention! ... Spirit 1300 traffic's off your left wing by six -uh - eight miles 747. I'm sure you can see who it is ... I gotta talk to you twice every time ... pay attention! Get off the iPad!"
Was that not the most Spirit Airlines thing to ever happen on Spirit Airlines?
Here's the Fox News story on it:
In all fairness to the Spirit pilot, given that this was a Spirit flight, there's a non-zero chance that he was distracted by a brawl happening in the back of the plane.
It's about the only excuse that makes sense.
That or the iPad.
