    No it's not. That controller works Islip now. The FAA forced him to either transfer to ISP or get fired, one or the other, after reviewing his demeanor on the frequency in many situations. The various YouTube videos out there tipped off FAA higher-ups to do something about him. Really a shame because he was a very effective controller and really knew how to work the system at JFK.

    I read somewhere the tracon controller handling 1549 has 10 years experience all at NY Tracon.

    As far as the former JFK controller being transferred to ISP if it benefits him great otherwise that's to bad as it takes a lot of talent to handle JFK ground and despite his entertaining imperfections on the freq he does have the talent and experence to handle that very difficult job.

    Regards

    I don't think it sounds familiar at all. Very different voices.

    Yes. Let's just say I know a little too much about it.
