Mach80: Why are you still at a Regional after 20 + years in the airlines?
Professional pilots sound like student pilots when they use "with you" in their initial transmissions to ATC. Here's a clue -- ATC knows you are "with them" by the fact you are talking to them! It's redundant and a waste of radio time....especially the stupid "checking in with you". Try dropping the "with you" crap and sound a bit more professional and like you've flown in other parts of the world. Next time you hear "with you" consider how stupid it sounds....and is. It's just a bad habit.
Also...drop the "Any chance..." when what you really meant to do is request something. i.e. "Comair 123 requesting direct xyz".
This is the dumbest thread I have heard in quite a while. GET A LIFE. YOU ARE NOT AS COOL AS YOU THINK YOU ARE!!! No. TRUST ME.
Exactly. Who ********************in' cares!! Our job is easy, just chill out and quit bitching!I know the type. The captain that points out of this small sh!t and the polite FO's give a nice chuckle and then look out their window for the rest for the flight thinking "Where can I access that no-fly with list?"
Who cares?
Wow!If you studied the Tenerife accident, you would know that the F/O made up his own phrase, "we are at takeoff" which is vague and meaningless...May God have mercy on your passengers.
Controller's problem then. If the controller doesn't see you doing what he asks he'll certainly get back to you. You'll be protected from any violation because a clearance is not really completed till acknowledged and if your response isn't on the tape, no violation for you.
