A SABENA airliner pulls up behind a KLM airliner on a crowded taxiway.
SABENA to KLM on tower freq: “KLM holding number 4 come up 3030 (303.3 Unicom).” After a few minutes they call again “KLM holding number 3 come up 3030.” Still no response so they call tower : “Tower tell the KLM aircraft ahead of SABENA 123 to come up on 3030”
Just then the KLM crew jumps in and says, “Tower please tell the SABENA Aircraft that the professionals at KLM Dutch Airlines don’t come up on discreet frequencies when they should be monitoring tower.”
The SABENA Aircraft then replies, “Okay tower, that’s no problem but could you just let the professionals at KLM know that their gear pins are still in.”
(A moment of silence)
KLM : Tower, KLM 3030 needs to return to the gate.
