Enough is enough. Just stop. Guard.

I had a copilot say "howyadoin" once. Once, and he bought all the beer that night.

Not up in here. NOT UP IN HERE!

Flight numbers as individual digits or not?

I'm not back to single or double digits yet, hopefully after this next AE, but I have a pet peeve about radio jackassery.

No... mean is flight #123 "One twenty three" or "One Two TREE".

Radio jackassery and all.

Definitely, I don't hear any of it west of Virginia really, and definitely not outside the us.

"Minneapolis Center, Buzzsaw 4796, (altitude leaving) descending via the BAINY THREE RNAV arrival, 12-left transition; good afternoon."

OMG NONSTANDARD GOOD AFTERNOON, but I like throwing in a pleasantry.

"seeyuh" is not one of 'em.

"See-ya!" Is definitely used round these parts. Almost encouraged...

 

[ZapBrannigan]

I say "so long". But I never say anything about "the fish finder", "on the deck" or "adios" -- and I've never said "guard!"

Did you know the AIM recommends using "twenty three fourty two" over "two three four two" for airlines?

 

[derg]

Except ICAO.

 

[bLizZuE]

So which do you use?

(I'm a "twenty two thirty two" guy, but always thought the "two two three two" was technically correct. Surprised me to learn the opposite.)

 

[derg]

Out of the country, I'm strictly a one two three guy. There is nothing worse than the confusion it gives a foreign controller when someone says "forty five north", which sounds like "thirty five" and if on HF, sounds like everything. Ha!

In the country, I'm one twenty three unless there are too many similar callsigns.

 

[bLizZuE]

We don't do any class 2 nav on the airbus, so I won't need to practice my ICAO skills for a while.

 

[BobDDuck]

Except ICAO.

I did have somebody ask me if they needed a passport to come out here, so I guess ICAO rules will work.

You may have run into the same geography buff I did a year ago -- who informed me that when she would eventually get to Europe, she planned on taking the train there.

That is, the train from North America.

Reminds me of the time the travel department at my employer attempted to purchase someone a "limo" from Stansted to Reykjavik.

And still occasionally graded (approvingly) by the approach controllers?

Edit: Nevermind, I was thinking of the wrong theater. I do know they were almost encouraged there...

I've heard guard shenanigans in both Asia and Europe this trip, though to be fair it was the first time for both.
