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

Speaking of going back to the third grade, a lot of pilots start a sentence with "And" on their PA's as if it is some sort of continuation from the last sentence of the welcome PA that was made 2 hours ago.
 
The only controller I have ever heard complain about "with you" is Bernoulli Fan and I am pretty sure that is because he was a pilot and flight instructor first. And I think about that every time I take an FAA course or computer based instruction, because they invariably use "with you."

Pilots like complaining; flight instructors like complaining; controllers really like complaining: Imagine the number of complaints I could bring up!
 
"With you" is a pretty yack-worthy thing to be broadcasting over the radio. I state that fully admitting that veeeery occasionally, if I'm embracing my inner hillbillyness that day, I'll say "checking in blah blah." I've only done that a handful of times, and I felt little naughty afterwards. I do say howdy often.
 
And Cessna 123ER checking in five thousand for five thoughsand five hundo get des snakes off my mo fo plane... and a good morning. *keep transmitting carrier only for the full five count*.
 
I don't know why y'all are so up in arms over this and not the idiot corporate guys who don't phonetically say their name just because they're lazy. Makes me want to punch someone in the throat. "2 Charlie Bravo, decend and maintain one five thousand". "Down to fifteen two "See" "Bee". WTF??? Tons of corporate guys do this day in and day out...ughhhh
 
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.

NO CONTROLLER CARES ABOUT A PILOT SAYING "WITH YOU"

True dat.

Kinda odd that it really irks some pilots - in comparison to some of the other radio vomit out there.

Weird, isn't it? The stuff that gets under our skin? For example, the "Uhhhhhhhmericanssss" guy drives me nuts, but the always enthusiastic "(his numbers, in group form) CACTI!!!!" guy is hysterical.

*shrug*
