First big int'l trip. Russia, France, etc. Any help?

Vnukovo used both. I couldn't find reference to it in any international procedures courses or the Russian AIP, but they did it with all of the corporate operators and some of the airlines - when I could follow the conversations in Russian. When we called ready for departure, we would almost always be given a line up and wait. Then we would either sit there like hazards to navigation until the tower asked us if we were ready for takeoff, or we told them unprompted and got the cleared for takeoff instruction. Roschino in Tyumen did this, too.

Yep; "we are ready for departure" at hold until "cleared for takeoff" (or line-up, hold cleared for takeoff etc, then read back)
