Look this thread was 12 pages long, and I didn't read every one of them. So if someone beat me to the punch, then I'm sooooooo sooooorry. But I have to ask:
When cleared into position on a runway, is it not okay now to respond, "Pull it out and hold it!"
How about ringing the FAs... do we give, "One short ding and one long dong?"
I will agree that the use of "Wilco" can save a lot of unnecessary chatter on the radios. Especially when the controllers are busy.
Personally, I have way too much other things going on in my life to get wrapped around the axle over a lot of these things. Do I think standardization is important? Absolutely, but if I hear someone say "with you" on the radio halfway between BWI and PHX on the last leg of my trip, then I probably won't let it get to me. Once the airplane is at the gate, the next crew takes it, and I'm off the jetway, I have other priorities to attend to such as: taking my son swimming, having dinner with my family, and of utmost importance, some "quality time" with my wife once our son goes to bed!!! Know what I mean?
All y'all keep on pissing and moaning about radio phraseology, relaxed standards, this, that, and the other thing... I'll be concentrating on that "quality time" with the Mrs.
