Thanks for dusting this old thread off. I wrote some stuff in the earlier part back when I was a CFI, and I have to kind of laugh at myself for what I thought back then.
Now, I don't even "hear" people say "with you" any more. I mean, they definitely say it, but it never registers as anything but somebody talking on the radio. I still don't really say "with you" ever, but I definitely say my share of things like "twenty-four nine" and "thirty three nothin'" along with a big fat SEE YAAA whenever I can work it in. I think I even said "sweet" on the ramp control freq the other day. It was fun (and so rare that I have occasion!)
And I didn't believe it when this thread was new, but after having given out plenty of those courtesy laughs (all the while thinking "man this guys is tense" or "its going to be a long four days"), I finally see what you all have been talking about. If nothing else it has solidified how I'm NOT going to be as a captain!
