New airline pilots on the radio

[Mach 80]

How to sound like a new pilot:

1. Say lots of totally unecessary words on the radio like "...checkin' in with you..."

2. Tell departure control at airports like LAX and ATL that you are "..airborne.."

3. Say "....here we go" after acknowledging an ATC clearance.

4. Say " ....no problem" after acknowedging a simple heading assignment from ATC. Optional is "no worries".

5. Always ask ATC "whaddaya need?" after giving your requested Mach# or airspeed to him.....as if ATC wasn't going to tell you unless you asked.

6. ALWAYS inform ATC that you are "with them" because they wouldn't know unless you tell them.

7. Make a busy congested frequency even more congested by pausing after reading back the new frequency and then add some useless crap like "have a good day" resulting in a blocked transmission and making the controllers day less nice. Just read back the frequency and call sign and be done with it. No one needs to be told to "have a good day". What a stupid habit.

8. UAL needs to get their pilots a professional sounding microphone on their headsets. They all sound they're flying some Cessna with a loud prop and a bunch of background air noise.

Say "guard!" On guard frequency every time someone accidentally transmits there. Alternatively - sophomoric baiting of the guard police by acting like a child on guard freq.

But a lot of lifer's cannot get through their head to check in with the correct ATIS. These guys/gals have been flying for decades and still can't seem to have the ATIS when called for and then we have to endure the " do you have ATIS X?" query from ATC that ties up the freq......

What is more annoying is when you check in with atis x. The controller is never really listening and still asks if you have atis x.

What's even more annoying are pilots that get worked up about someone's radio calls!!!
