New airline pilots on the radio

"sit back, relax, and enjoy the flight".

It could actually mean that you just got on CTAF frequency so may not have heard the previous position reports. Or it could mean that maybe there is traffic in the area that didn't feel it necessary or prudent to report there position because they for some reason thought they were the only ones in the area. Or simply this is how they were taught coming up. Look, these words don't cost money. They're free. And in this case radio operations on CTAF into a non-towered airport is not bogging down a CTAF frequency.

Pilots stating, ?Traffic in the area, please advise? is not a recognized Self-Announce Position and/or Intention phrase and should not be used under any condition.

The onus is on you to look out the window and not forget about Jimbob in his Luscombe who doesn't even turn on his radio.

It is funny, all these years I always wondered why United sounds like they are flying a piston aircraft, glad to know I was not the only one that thought that. Does United outfit their aircraft with another brand than Telex, or is it a different type of connection? Just curious.

It's also "funny" that United is the combination of United and Continental, but for purposes of whining about our transmissions? Its just 1 airline that's always sounded bad

They crack the window for fresh air.

We'd like to put FL350 on request.

Ok, then do it.

And stop with the "on request" BS.
