I get super-annoyed with getting 4 instructions from ATC at the same time, because invariably while I'm trying to do whatever I need to do the other pilot will say something and now I'm doing 6 things - the 4 instructions, whatever I need to do first, and processing what I'm hearing from the other pilot.

I make it a point to never (or rarely anyway) include more than 2 instructions that involve numbers in one transmission. Sometimes I’ll throw a speed in along with a turn and altitude but rarely.

Exploring the world one toilet at a time.
A former co-worker of mine would frequently start their sentences with "Yeah, no..."
"I heard the broom closet flooded yesterday." "Yeah, no I saw that."
If anyone had any balls, they would make a "land ho" PA as soon as the west coast became visible on the islands return. This is currently on my bucket list
I've made similar comments when coasting in to SFO from HWD, or HPN to FRG.
Please, tell your colleagues!
"Turn left 15 degrees, descend and maintain FL210, slow to 280 and contact center on 123.625" is a recipe for a possiblepilotdeviation

Isn’t it like the direction the lights turn on/off and the seatbelt switch?
The ELT and something else. I think the microbus had a few others, I can't remember.
This would be a fairly usual U90 exchange when calling them:
“Approach, BP8”
“BP8 squawk 0412, go ahead”
“BP8 Huey airborne off TMC hospital, 3000, Sierra for DM”
“BP8 radar contact, confirm you have information Sierra for DM”
“Affirm on Sierra”
“Roger, change to tower 253.5”
Uggh…..besides not listening to me having the ATIS code on initial call, I wish I could just contact tower directly and not have to talk to you when I’m not ever inside your airspace; just to merely get radar identified with a squawk and……...sent right over to tower anyway.
I dream of the day of checking in with @NovemberEcho and saying "SouthernJets 76 heavy four thousand climbing one-one thousand make me a sandwich"

Half the time the repeating the ATIS part is just pure muscle memory. If more of y’all checked in with the ATIS I wouldn’t have muscle memory of saying it lol
Is it an LOA to have to call approach first and not just straight to tower?

I used to get a lot more worked up about this sort of thing. Esp. the "confirm you have the NOTAMs for XYZ". That was until I noticed how many dumbasses were flying around who responded "Uh, OF COUSE I have the NOTAMs, but like which specific NOTAMs were you referring to?" "Well, let's start with the one that says the field is closed indefinitely..."

What, you mean this isn’t the point of those psychometric analysis computer games as part of the interview? One hand has to control one thing, the other hand another thing and you have to multi task and click whatever BS that test is?
You mean to tell me that multi instructions in aviation actually poses a threat? Whowouldathunkit!
I believe so. I don’t think U90 has delegated any airspace to the towers. P50 is the opposite, they don’t want to talk to you if a low level RW going into and out of the surface area to operate or go into or out of KPHX. I think U90 is just trying to keep traffic numbers up.

This is a weird thing to be angry about considering literally all the other radio calls we make we use the full callsign. Also, how many airports do you actually have your own ramp tower? Probably just the fortress hubs right?Also, I believe I said this in another thread, but when you're talking to your OWN company's ramp tower, you DO NOT, under any circumstances, need to state your airline in your radio transmission!!

I have an EWR trip next week, I’ll make sure to check in without the ATIS and when queried I will say I have the numbers
I got debriefed on that when I was an FO because I didn't use the company callsign. From that point forward I made it a point under no circumstances would I ever say it just in case that clown might be listening.Also, I believe I said this in another thread, but when you're talking to your OWN company's ramp tower, you DO NOT, under any circumstances, need to state your airline in your radio transmission!!
