Key Takeaways:

  • An air traffic controller cleared a pilot for an arrival into the ATL area using unusually named waypoints and procedures, specifically "Bunni" and "Dumbb Bunni2."
  • The pilot humorously questioned the controller about who codes or names these flight procedures.
  • The controller responded with a sarcastic quip, stating they are named by "special controllers for all the really special pilots."
