It was a different thread that I remember. Someone posted the story as a submission, and one of the top-level comments was debunking it. My Google-fu used to be extremely good, back when Google was a good search engine, otherwise I would have found it by now and posted the link.
I like the effect that the story has had, but I dislike the idea that it might have been an exaggeration.
The author of Sled Driver made a lot of appearances/talks, but I don't know how much he was paid for them.

The author states he doesn't normally monitor the frequencies as that was the other person's job, but the one time he does monitor, this happens?
Either things like this happen all of the time, in which case there would be plenty of people sharing their version of these kinds of stories, or the pilot got extremely lucky in his timing.
