"With you"

[SWA Bubba]

Come on guys. You're on guard!

I think you meant "Air Force common."

[Abernathy]

I haven't heard "with you" in years...

 

[FO4life]

"300 for 350"

" with you", in Rugby means I am supporting you, and I am in position to receive the oblong ball.

 

[Mamma]

mkingmei,
Agreed that beginning a transmission with "and" is just wrong. "And tower, English-Impaired 465 checkin in........" Can't stand it.

Go fly somewhere other than the US for a while, you'll cringe at how bad the radio verbage/slang is in the US when you return...

 

[Lear70]

Someone please explain to me why these words get a bad rap.

Because there are some terribly anal pilots out there who can't stand non-standard phraseology...

Not that it's in my typical verbiage either, but really... who gives a flying f***? People like that are miserable to fly with. Kind of like the guy who comes on board and says during his intro briefing "I'm pretty standard", which means you'd better watch him or her like a hawk... That's a long 4-day.

 

[Spinn555]

I tend to find that the people that are most anal about the radio verbiage are some of the least standard pilots out there.

The bad rap comes from our CEO.

"We're doing this [merger] with you or without you."

Audio link or it didn't happen.

I saw a XJT FO with a no-shiat mullet @ EWR in early February of this year.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a clear picture with my phone in a way that wouldn't make me look like a creeper...the picture I do have looks like something you'd expect for Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster.

But I seen the mulleted FO with me own eyes...

 

[Dumb Pilot]

The read back with something similar sounding, just to see if it passes by ATC so as to have time to look for it on the legs page, just to come to the realization that nothing on the legs page comes close to what you thought you read back.

...or my favorite (and no kidding I really heard it): "Yo yo yo Clevey! Jetlink XXXX kepin' it real up here at one-five thous".

I wouldn't doubt it, but seriously, it's one thing to joke a little, and quite another to come off as immature and undisciplined.

Professionalism is key in maintaining and even eventually improving our compensation as pilots. The lack of mentoring at the Regional level really needs to be addressed.

[Axel]

Have you ever told the tug driver "with you"?

No, but once I did tell him to cast off the bow line, the scurvy wretch. Yaarr!

Who cares. We invented flying. We can talk how we want.

"and SouWest 1 is with you and needs a wind check, over."

For all of you Navy guys.

You are not landing on a boat anymore. Stop calling it the "Deck". We will not be on deck in 20 minutes. We will be on a 10,500ft runway.

Center: "Airline xxx say Mach #"

Just answer the effin question. If he wants you at a certain speed he'll assign it to you.

Whew. I'm done ranting. Where's the Valium
