I have already said the departure order twice in the past 5 minutes so who just asked me that again!" The poor pilot apologized and she ran through the list again. I was chuckling outloud it was so funny. Her delivery is what made it so hysterical to me.
Funny. A lot of the controllers now are making more than airline pilots.... at least for narrowbody pilots. And absolutely make more than the regional pilots do. Guess they're carrying a 'tude.
