Who cares? What a waste of a resource this web board has become.

Generally, I never call traffic in sight, as it alleviates the controller from his responsibility, which is to keep me from hitting any other guys around me that he can see. Besides, there's a chance I'm looking at different traffic from the one he's referring to.

The exception is if it's traffic to follow on the visual and there's no question whom we've been following.

Whoa, here's a guy with great SA. The thread was about calling traffic in sight in the flight levels, partner.

You've heard of see and avoid right? And the pilot's responsibility. It's in the AIM, might wanna take a peak. Traffic advisories is time permitting for controllers if that traffic is VFR. They're responsible for separation of IFR first.

And here's a guy with lousy reading comprehension. Where did I write that I was only referring to calling traffic in the airport environment?

I don't ever call traffic in sight at the flight levels. Or down low, with the exception I gave.

And here's a guy who likes wild non sequiturs. I must have wandered onto a message board.

Who said I don't see and avoid? My technique keeps the controller in the game by making sure he doesn't dump the entire avoidance responsibility on me. Why should I alleviate him from his responsibility? Having three guys keeping us separated rather than just two sounds like a pretty good idea. Calling the traffic in sight is only going to result in him assuming I have the exact traffic in sight that he's looking at. What if I'm calling out the wrong traffic?

Which I stated in my first post. You all need to practice reading.
