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

[Flopgut]

Normally he sounds like a basic midwestern American upper middle class college-educated white-guy D-bag...

but, when he keys the mic his voice suddenly goes all gravel and east Texas twang. Sometimes it's gravel + nasal at the same time (didn't think that was even possible). Sometimes it's just the east Texas twang but it comes out sounding like he's got a face full of Novocain.

On FI he uses the name Redflyer

Was he wearing cowboy boots?

 

[Freebrd]

Nah that was the chick who people think is British because she uses a made-up British accent, but she does wear cowboy boots and a thong, usually a different color daily, even one that matches her snakeskin boots (a real turn-on in the room on layovers)
.

As my Dad got progressively more wasted last night and started speaking in a dialect unnatural to his native tongue, I told a story about a Captain I had to fly with (10+ years ago) who ordinarily sounded like a typical California bro', bro', but when talking on the radio he got all Smokey and the Bandit. With egos so fragile, it is difficult to mention the discrepancy. But ugh, yeah, soooooo annerrying.

Last week the guy I flew with sounded like Bruce Jenner (the new, improved version).

On one of your posts on APC, you indicated that you are a member of the LBGT community - (is that why you hate cowboy boots?) so it must've been a lot of fun for you to fly him/her/it. We don't need any details of your extracurricular activities.

2 weeks ago I flew with a perv like you . I keep expecting the cops to come take him away at each station .

I sound like Barry White.

...with a sinus infection.

 

[Mach 80]

I flew with a guy who, every time ATC had a clearance to us would add "..., we can do that".

Another guy would often add "no problem" as if changing frequencies might be one.

Another guy adds "..., airborne...." on his initial call to Departure control out of busy airports like DTW or ATL.

Another adds "checking in" when contacting ATC as if the controller doesn't know, which almost ranks right up with "....with you" which the controller certainly does not need to be told and is the most useless, redundant, stupid waste of words and time in aviation radio.

One day those annoyances will be eliminated with the complete integration of digital clearances. It's in its infancy now, but given the speed and competency with which the FAA advances new technologies, the future of a no voice clearance aviation cockpit will soon be here with nary a nuance or waste of words to be found!

They will be replaced by digital annoyances like OMG and LOL.

You're right. Not to mention all the emoticons!!

Mess up a clearance and get one of these..... :angryfire
Catch an ATC mistake and get one of these..... :beer:

Man, the system is going to need a lot of bandwidth for this stuff!
