  • A pilot inquired with Air Traffic Control (ATC) about finding a smoother air current during a turbulent flight.
  • ATC humorously responded that a smooth ride wouldn't be found until the aircraft taxied into the gate.
  • The pilot retorted, jesting that even the taxiways at their destination airport were rough, implying no relief from bumpiness would be found.
