It was the wee hours of the morning, and the center’s frequency had been dead silent for quite a while. Finally, a pilot just had to check.
Pilot:
“Uh, Albuquerque – anybody home?”
Controller:
“Nope. We’re all at work.”

Key Takeaways:
- A pilot, after a long silence on the frequency, checked in with air traffic control asking "Albuquerque - anybody home?"
- The air traffic controller responded humorously to the pilot's query.
- The controller quipped, "Nope. We're all at work," playfully distinguishing their professional presence from being "home."
