Captain 7I have been flying for over 30 years and I find pilot radio phraseology has gone down the tubes in that time. You would NEVER find anyone saying "on the roll" 30 years ago.[/QUOTE said:Well then I guess we won't have to worry about sharing a flight deck with you much longer huh? oh, sorry..."cockpit" for you. BTW you still call the FA's "stews"?
I think "yabba dabba doo" would suffice.Captain 7 said:Ok boys, while we're at it....how do you feel about responding to "cleared for take-off" with "on the roll" or worse yet, "on the go" instead of "cleared for take-off"? (and it might be nice to include the runway if multiple runways are in use).
I'm sorry, meant to say...FN FAL said:Sporting Wood on 7 left!
ERfly said:My only pet peeve is "On the hold." I don't even know what that means. I know it loosely translates to "position and hold," but its just a jumble of words. Just say, "position and hold."

Or what about something like...
Geronimo?
Hot damm, here we go again!
Jesus, I thought for sure there was going to be a breathalyzer today!
Alah Akbar!
Go Wee hawks! (or whatever it was that Rodger at Chicago center used to say!"
Sporting Wood on 7 left!
I'm sorry, meant to say...
Sporting WOOD, "with you", on 7 left!

That's why the airlines should only hire military pilots; then we'd all be standardized. . . .

Captain 7 said:It is very redundant and dumb to ever use the phrase "with you" in your radio transmission to an ATC controller. He certainly realizes that you are "with him" by the mere fact you are speaking to him! And while we're at it, lets drop the phrase "any chance" when requesting something. Just request it, it's not a bookie joint.
Sundevil said:The thing that ticks me off the most is when people use the word "Sugar" instead of "Sierra" for the S in their callsign. Talk about queer.
