The "and" thing is an Airforce hold hover. They needed a little trick to remind them to pause a couple seconds while the crypto synced up and putting an "and" at the beginning of the transmission did the trick.

The Navy pilots were just told to pause before speaking and that worked.
 
"Got 'em on the fish finder."


Could somebody please point out exactly to me where in the Pilot/Controller Glossary I may find the term 'fish finder'?
 
How 'bout female pilots who have to answer ATC instructions by first saying "all right" or "ok".....

As in to say "sigh... So much to comprehend here... Ok.... let me make sure I've got this right.. You want me to slow to 210 and THEN descend to 10 thousand????"

The kitchen's that way, sweetheart.

Winning!

HAHA!!! That is excellent.
 
Why is it ASA that always hops on frequency and starts transmitting? Why not wait and see if there is something being said on freq first?
 
in response to a hold short instruction, "on the hold"

or "we'd like to request 3-5-0"
Oh? You're telling ATC that you would like to make a request instead of just stating your request? I wish ATC would respond,"uhm, ok, that's nice"
 
You know, as a non airline pilot, I always thought it was the mainline pilots that had the worst vernacular. But that's just me.

What always makes me laugh is:'

"Center, American 685 how are the rides up ahead."
"Moderate chop at your altitude, would you like to try lower or higher."
"We'll stay here, American 685."

Then why'd you ask? Lazy bastards.
 
AHH!

God save me from pilots who are in love with their own voice and live to talk on the radio in their Cheesy Airline Pilot Guy pitched tone!

For example: I flew with one guy that HAD to add as much to the transmission as possible regardless to how busy the freak was.

"Rooooooooooger Memphis Center Air-shuttle XXXX will cross XYZ fix at 250/10000 ride so far was good through 350 with just a bit of chop from 2750 to 250 and the ride from CLT was just FINNNNNE until we started the decent and by the way please have a suuuuuuper weekend and enjoy fine spring weather there in MEM because I just got back from Key West FL and boy... is my ball sack still sore from sun burn.... But I digress what was that frequency again.... OVER"

Closet fruit cake.
 
I personally like the people who insist on saying "Merry Christmas" or "happy New Year" close to the holidays.......how many thousands of times do you think the poor controller has to hear that.....and he is at work like you are, so it's probably not gonna be a truly great holiday anyways.
