Higher res image of the chat UwU
Thank you! I actually hid the post after I made it at first because I realized it was hard to read. But I saw it had gotten an upvote in the few seconds it was up so I restored it.
The username in the second one changes from SKW4238 to SKY4238, so (at least) that one is fake.
That’s the flight management computer, it does waypoint navigation/autopilot. As far as I know it doesn’t do chat to other planes. So all fakeSee reply, I am wrong.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ACARS
Apparently it is a thing, but I don’t know how long the messages can be or what they “usually” look like, nor do I trust these screenshots.
The twitter user is an actual commercial pilot, and ACARS messages do look like that. Not sure what’s up with SKW2438/SKY2438 but otherwise it seems legit. I think faking it would be harder than actually doing this.
Edit: Here’s a picture of a much longer message in a more professional, non furry rp context:
Considering pilots shitpost on guard to the extent that actual emergencies threatening lives are literally not able to be heard… I don’t doubt this lol

Turn off bleed air and vent the cabin. The suction cup should release if the pressure is low enough.
Pretty sure ACARS doesn’t include [X is typing] messages
That is a good point.
Except that that might explain the slightly different alias on that line. Maybe it’s a message just like the rest, sent for the sake of the meme, and the alias just happened to get typed incorrectly…
more professional
big black dildo
Maybe I need to be more professional.
Hey now, they used the indefinite article. The pilot typed a dildo and not their dildo.
I stand corrected, thank you.
Now I’m double sad.
Don’t be sad, I was wrong. It can do chat. You go get your pilots licence and furry roleplay to your hearts content :D
The messages also just don’t match. Left one just says “Hiii” but the right one says “hiii how is”
It looks like two different computers to me.
Darn :(

If Crowdstrike crashes systems on the plane Im traveling on this is exactly who I want in the cockpit - someone with sys admin skills.
Don’t worry, any flight control computer used on commercial airliners is based on such ancient tech, that it wouldn’t even be able to run Crowdstrike.
Yeah, I know, but I needed my furry joke to work.
Why would crowdstrike be anywhere on an airplane control system?
Bcs their original business was air-to-crowd weaponry.
I assume this was an attempt at a pun because I’m not sure what the fuck you’re talking about.
Yes, I apologise, my attempt at linking their company’s name to terrorist acts over crowds of people have indeed been a joke (not a pun tho).
Like that guy who writes uwu on the plane gas tanks
This poor cat has not had its face squished enough.
