On the roll???

[JohnnyP]

one more thing

One more thing I hate than someone saying "on the roll"---

Sweaty grease smudges on my sunglasses!!!!!

Absolutely can't stand that!!!!!

The easy way to pick me out in a crowd, ill be the one whipping out my sunglass towel every 4 or 5 minutes to clear the lenses up.

Everyone is a little OCD about something I suppose.

My biggest beef: anybody who adds an extraneous "s" to their callsign. Delta and USAir guys: you know who you are.

I always get a kick out of "Delter"....
Delter 15 heavy.....

For some reason I thought US's official call sign was "US Airways," which can sound lot like "US Air's." Confirm?

Nope, it's "USAir". Google airline callsigns for reference.

I always get a kick out of "Delter"....

Oddly enough, this doesn't bother me.

It is truly a bit sad where proper radio technique has gone. Apparently so far down that it is simply accepted and anyone who points it out is lambasted.

Pretty much now go take your viagra and goto bed old man! There are more things to worry about on days off than stupid anal radio techniques. If you don't get violated your doing something right.

It's not that we don't know all those anal little things. It's that we just don't care. At every airline I have worked for I have heard people use on the roll. So what?

Nope, it's "USAir".

Thanks for the clarification.

On a lighter note, I've started replying "ten-four" as preparation for my upcoming truck driving gig.
