"With you"

[airplane wizard]

"tower...wind check please...over"
"Roger that.."

 

[labbats]

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

Makes no sense in the air either.

 

[GogglesPisano]

"Gander, Gander."

 

[mkingmei]

Sentences don't begin with "and"
There is no "point" in or on the altimeter, with regards to altitude
"With you"...of course you are, you're talking to them
"Wind Check"...I understand some aircraft have limitations, but geez. If it's not that bad, figure it out when you get down there
Overall the less you can say the better it is for everyone involved.
Guard Nazis need to lighten up and read a book.

"Got him on the fish finder!"

I couldn't resist many years ago when TCAS was pretty new I replied "Got the guppie on the fish finder" and the controller was laughing during the next transmission. I wouldn't say that again though but I will say something else stupid in the future!

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...

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.

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

The bad rap comes from our CEO.

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

...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".
