just flew a 3-day with "special radio voice guy"...

[ATRCAPT]

The guy I just flew had to start every single radio transmission with the word "yeah". "Yeah, Salt Lake Center..." "Yeah, So Cal...", "Yeah, Vegas Ops...". Weird.

 

[rettofly]

Had a departure controller coming out of KTOL one oh dark thirty night some years ago who replied to clearance readbacks with "cool". Had to ask her where that was found in the Controllers' Manual.

Instant reply: "The appendix".

The silky smooth COMAIR guy that did the phone updates during the strike was the best.

That Comair guy actually was a disc jockey at one point.... Kinda nerdy but a very nice guy and fun to fly with.. Knew a ton about constellations also.. Made nights up and down the East Coast more interesting.

Just like the colony of pilots who believe every ATC facility is named "Aaaannnd."

Aaaannnd approach, aaaannnd tower, aaaannnd ground... shoot me in face.

The other month I was flying over India and a Delta pilot checked in with Mumbai or Chennai control, can't remember. Then he started complaining about the "scratchy radios with a squeal in the background." No problems there as I agree Indian ATC facilities are generally crap. But then he went on in a very condescending tone to say "I've been telling you guys this for years and you still haven't fixed it!" Then of course my non-american FO looked over to me with one of those, Why are Americans such Dou-chebags looks....?

Lets remember when flying in third world countries that they are called third world for a reason and are not in a position to cater to our every need.
