This is wild. You can't get away from these zoom calls even as an F-35 pilot.

I think the call was only 10 minutes long. For 40 minutes the pilot was just waiting for the next available representative.

40 minutes realizing they need to update Zoom, updating Zoom, then trying to figure out why their mic isn't working.
