Skywest radio

[BoilerUP]

Crappy radio communications are not limited to regional airlines.

Corporate pilots, legacy pilots, regional pilots, cargo pilots...all have their members who either think they're on a CB radio, speak softer than Prince, are practicing to be an auctioneer, or use so many 'ums', 'ahs', and stammers that it takes 20 seconds to check in.

It is simple, when you fly 18 hour credit, 4 day trips that start at 0500 and finish at 2030 and have multiple 2-3 hour airport appreciation breaks daily, in planes with deferred APUs to PSP, TUS, IAH and a few more hot spots around the country, you would be spent too.
Or they could just practicing on their 50 missions over Moline radio voice....

Wait, what? I thought Skywest was the best regional airline in the world and everything was perfect?

"Denver Center, Skywest XXXX, Manning Up at FL280."

Is that the new lingo to replace "checking in"????

"checking in"? Who uses that other than GA pilots?

There are days in MEM when I wonder if I'm listening to ATC comms or the dukes of hazzard CB.

Sadly you are right. Not like its obvious you are checking in just by stating your altitude.
