Skywest radio

[Finally]

Can some one explain to me why Skywest always sounds like they are not speaking into the mike or are afraid to speak up on ATC. Everytime I hear Skywest respond to ATC they are totally unreadable. Is it a thing with the CRJ or are the pilots just not speaking up clearly on the radio. Tired of listening to pilots not maning up on the radio. Come on little boys, man up.

Is it "maning" up, or "manning" up. I'm not sure.

Peyton, Eli, or Archie?

"Denver Center, Skywest XXXX, Manning Up at FL280."

Is that the new lingo to replace "checking in"????

It is simple, when you fly 18 hour credit, 4 day trips that start at 0500 and finish at 2030 and have multiple 2-3 hour airport appreciation breaks daily, in planes with deferred APUs to PSP, TUS, IAH and a few more hot spots around the country, you would be spent too.
Or they could just practicing on their 50 missions over Moline radio voice....

Some guys do talk fast and sound like they have a load of crap in their mouths, but not limited to just one segment of aviation.

Sounds like somebody has a case of the Mondays, ohh wait it is Thursday...

You really don't have to sound like you are going on your last mission to save the world, has nothing to do with being a man because women do it also. It is called communication. Relax!

Crappy radio communications are not limited to regional airlines.

Corporate pilots, legacy pilots, regional pilots, cargo pilots...all have their members who either think they're on a CB radio, speak softer than Prince, are practicing to be an auctioneer, or use so many 'ums', 'ahs', and stammers that it takes 20 seconds to check in.

Wait, what? I thought Skywest was the best regional airline in the world and everything was perfect?

...and a whole bunch others that I've heard say "checkin' in" in the last 12 months...

 

[RJLoser]

There are days in MEM when I wonder if I'm listening to ATC comms or the dukes of hazzard CB.

 

[SLUF4]

This sounds like another Mach 80 thread!

Sadly you are right. Not like its obvious you are checking in just by stating your altitude.

do you tally them up on a notepad? How do you keep track of this?

 

[BoilerUP]

Memory.

And those are just the ones I recall hearing in the last couple months.
