Guys, quit the student pilot "with you" when talking to controllers. It's redundant and a waste of time and makes you sound like a student pilot. They KNOW you are "with" them by the mere fact you are talking to them. It's goofy and a waste of time.

Mach 80 'I'm with you too'
 
How about "on the deck" as called out by the majority of DL pilots?
 
Had a US Airways get pissy with a lady controller for slowing him to 150kts 20 miles out. After a small arguement, the Lady Controller sent him over to tower.... Pilots response (never heard this... but the lady controller knew it)
See You next time------> or
C
U
N -ext
T -ime

Once landed, they were asked to call the tower!!! Too funny!!

First for me... anyone else heard or used it.... I heard it was a United thing..

Thanks for the lecture, it's also redundant to bring it up after it's been beaten to death here for years...

I'm going to start saying "With You" just to get your blood boiling.

They are wrong as are many in acadamia who teach theory but have little real experience. "With you" is simply a bad habit that's ingrained but highly unnecessary.

Look in the AIM for how to "check in" with ATC. See if you find "with you" in there.

Say what you normally say, just leave out "with you". It works fine without the wasted time and obvious redundancy.

Also, it's "cleared for take-off" not "cleared to go".

And try to request something rather than asking "any chance" too.

What about "on the hold" or "with you for the left/right side"? I use it cause it makes me sound like a regional pilot.

Although Ready2Fly is anything but serious and a troll, these posts amuse me.:beer:

Hey Mach 80.... he's messin with you. No need to take him serious.
 
Wasted time saying two one syllable words that takes probably a tenth of a second? Gimme a break! What about saying "good afternoon XXX Center" when checking in? What about saying "good day" when given a freq. change? What about the guys who read back the runway AND their full call sign when a busy ORD approach assigns it to them? If you really want to stop wasting time, why don't you encourage everyone to LISTEN to their new frequency for just a few painful seconds before checking in, instead of immediately checking in like an idiot and not realizing their stepping all over someone on the new freq.

Go over to the majors forum and preach to them about how they shouldn't tie up the frequency by using their airlines call sign in the possessive form (Deltas', Uniteds' )

Also, "cleared to go" takes less time to say than "cleared for takeoff" so I would think you would support it. After all, ATC knows that you know you're cleared for takeoff.

It pains me to believe there is someone out there that so anal and bothered so much by something so trivial, he/she has to come on here and scold us. I think I'm going to try to say "with you" as much as I can now. Maybe some crusty old guy will have a coronary over it.

Some advise for you Mach 80. If your a Captain, then I am sure you are a joy to fly with. If you are still an FO and make it too Captain one day... Here's some advise......... Don't sweat the small stuff!!! It will make your days in the left seat much more enjoyable!!!

Purdue operates piper airplanes, so I doubt you go to Purdue. And knowing the simulator instructors (almost all of them), I know that they hate "with you" probably more than the airline guys do.
 
And unless you are wearing Airfoce wings, No NOT CAP, quit with the "tallyho" and "no joy" stuff.


Gotta love the "active runway" guys at uncontolled airports too!!!
 
you people are crazy

this christmas, I'm going to check in with "happy holidays", just to piss off mach 80 AND all the religious nut cakes.

I bet you've asked unicom plenty of times what the "active" was....

...folks need to just listen up and see how the traffic's flowing.

The most professional way is to say " flt.... checkin in with you at 410, any ride reports ahead'.

The New York Center way to check in is:

"Flt 123 checkin' in at FL350....any chance direct Carmel, or should I go **** myself"?
