Some of you get riled up about the weirdest stuff. I just don't care enough to notice most of those little things I guess.

I had a LCA on my new hire IOE go off about proper radio phraseology (among other things). I was wondering what the hell I had gotten myself into. Luckily he was the exception not the rule.

Yay more monkeys on the radio domestic.

In all seriousness if it's actually a problem in flight, I'll talk to a guy about it. Usually something like, hey man, you notice how you have to repeat yourself 6 times before ATC understands you? That's because they have no idea what you're saying. You're using a lot of non-standard phraseology.

Nothing worse than an American carrier checking in to Shanghai when they're busy. They can't handle more than 1 aircraft at a time as it is and now you might as well be screaming into the mic and flinging poo at him for all the sense you're making.
Also terrible is the moron at LAX or JFK when it's busy and can't use proper phraseology causing the controller to repeat himself endlessly, clogging the frequency, airplanes are missing turns because there's not time to give vectors and hold your hand through how to use a radio on an airplane.

Be a professional. Talking on the radio is supposed to be mastered before the ATP.

Can you give me an example of a moron using poor phraseology at LAX or JFK? That's my backyard, so I'm just curious what exactly we are talking about here?

Well I'm curious. Years of operating into/out of JFK and LAX the only ones I really hear having to repeat a bunch of times are the foreign carriers. There might be some occasional newbies into JFK who are not used to the flow of how things go, I could see them tripping up.

Just wondering if you had an example.

Oh he wasn't talking about my radio work. He was literally critiquing every radio transmission we heard. It was a good time.

I have no resentment towards the guy but I want to know how he has all of this time to travel while commuting to reserve. I live in base as a reserve CA and there’s no way I could find the time to travel extensively.

Maybe he’s able to drop most of his reserve days.

True. I was flying with an F14 guy. Had a F14 guy in the Jumpseat. I almost bailed out.
