The end of the "with you" debate...

[Inverted25]

It doesnt bother me at all. I hear a lot of stupid stuff on the radio. I just dont like talking period it takes time away from my nap. So I respond with the least amount of words possible. Usually just "callsign, 28000"

I flew a trip with a "SouthernJet's, 1234 checkin' in with ya onboard at 3 5 Oh.

Thank goodness for CPDLC.

Not that anyone cares, but the AIM says exactly what should be said when you are contacting a new controller.

One minor issue... "The AIM is not regulatory." (ducks)

#This from a NUMBER of controllers that I worked with.

You're correct, but you'd still better follow it.

Pffft...those "with you" people. Must be the same ones that raise their flaps in the flare and cancel at the gate. Bush league!

 

[pilot4500]

"With you" never bothered me as much as people who don't use the proper phonetic alphabet. "Washington Center Citation 215 Sugar Pop with you at three one oh."

 

[Maddog1974]

What about checking in with "inside you"?

If you have to call attention to it....

 

[lgafo]

Until I started flying for a pedantic Asian carrier, I never realized how dumb I must have sounded on the radio in my past. On that same note, sometimes I feel I need to use too much brainpower to have perfect "RT" as we refer to it at times. Just try to be as standard as possible overseas bc they will attempt to kill you.

Got him on the box! (As though that helps the controller somehow...)

Roger, maintain box separation.

...er, disregard...

Saucy!

I love these threads, it allows me to collect all the phrases that rub you guys the wrong way. I got a little notebook. Then I continuously drop them on freq for you.

You ever play the "Meow" game over the freq. It gets really hard when you need to drop 5 "Meow's" before the next freq change. Well I digress, but my favorite has to be "any traffic in the area please advise." My co-captain hates this one, so I try to be sure to use it in every leg of the traffic pattern while inbound.

 

[derg]

Oh no, not the notebook! We didn't know you were keeping score!

 

[ChasenSFO]

If I ever get a "with you" in the ramp tower, I'm gonna have to strike back.

"With you" never bothered me as much as people who don't use the proper phonetic alphabet. "Washington Center Citation 215 Sugar Pop with you at three one oh."

With the exception of "Unicorn" in place of Uniform, I agree.

Derg, on the list now.

 

[Tommay85]

I don't care what anyone says as long as they're efficient, especially on clearance. As filed, 121810119.24778 is a perfectly fine read back if it means I can get my clearance right after.

 

[DubyaDawg]

Back in my student pilot days I flew with a guy who responded to every clearance with "here we go." Even then, so much cringe.

I'm fairly certain I've also heard this man... just no
