I equate that to when a woman tells you "don't call me, I'll call you". Don't hold your breath waiting for a call back.

Ohh I have a long story about holding for close to 25 minutes because a Cirrus driver couldn't find the airport (How he couldn't find it with all the glass gadgets your typical Cirrus has is beyond me) on a visual approach in 5000-10 conditions (It was during my IR training and we held for so long so we could get a little bit of actual. Actual does not come easy in NM, so we take what we can get.

There is such a thing as a good (I'll change the word to competant) Bonanza driver. It's a sweet airplane (especially the older V-tails), it's a shame that so many incompetant people own them.

The good pilot, owns a Bonanza, and woman part I believe. The doctor part? Banish the thought!!
Fixed it for you. Irony amuses me.
When you're min fuel. I keed I keed!
I have no solid answer for you other than after being asked to standby, when the controller makes the next transmission, stepping on the response is too soon. If there's not a lot of chatter, throw it out there again.

"Bonanza ***AB, approach, can you expedite your descent?"
"Affirmative, we have a doctor on board, Bonanza ***AB"

I got sent on a tour of southeast Birmingham this week when the controller gave me a "vector around departures." When I was 15 miles east of the airport (departing westbound), I decided to give him a call. "Oh, sorry. forgot about you. Cleared straight in."

The funniest thing I've every heard on the radios was the other day. Flying around CID, there was a 172 with instructor and student doing practice approaches in vfr into cid(class C). After a bit, the controller calls the 172.. no response.
ATC: Cessna XXX how do you hear (repeated 10 times over the next 10 or so mins)
..10mins later..
Cessna XXX: Loud and clear.. sorry, that's my fault(CFI), we were practicing radio failures.
:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
The instructor actually turned the radios off while inside a C, in communication with a controller while shooting practice approaches. Just turned them off!!! :rotfl::rotfl:
Surprised he didn't squawk 7600 as well. Also very surprised he didn't get a phone number.

That's funny, I had a client who was doing that because... he didn't like to see the hand pointing at 6 o'clock. He liked the needle pointing at 12 o'clock. Waddya going to do...

I think I have almost dinged that meat head a few times, dasleben can tell you about a "VFR" MTN guy at IFR altitudes on a day where it was Solid IMC from 500 Ft to 10000+ from Georgia to New England. Let's just say I am glad I vectored and climbed him around that one.

Pays to fly
Getting back to the original post:
While I am a "weekend warrior" (actually many weekdays too), and I am sure this happens from time to time, after over 36 years of flying, I have yet to hear such an exchange. Granted, I've heard some silly stuff, that's for sure, just not that!
Hey look, I knew a guy who flew IFR for years without an instrument rating and never had a bust. Last time I flew with him it was VFR, but he was in his new Columbia 400! Maybe he got the rating by now!
Also, reminds me of an old story (heard it is true, probably is, but not certain) about an airline flight asked by ATC to expedite descent. Apparently ATC was not happy with their descent rate and admonished the pilot. The pilot comes back and says: "We're coming down faster than a Bonanza full of doctors, what more do you want?!!"
Question: What are perhaps the five most infamous words ever said to ATC by an airline pilot (it was the FO who said them)?
Answer: "And we are at takeoff".
Any guesses as to who said that and the eventual result?
