And I never wana hear "You-Noyted" again either.
As far as the numbers, so you prefer that your FO doesn't follow standard phraseology, eh?
Check on should be altitude only unless otherwise requested....
The numbers things is ridiculous. If you are getting them mixed up, get your hearing checked. Niner? We're not in WW2 anymore. I refuse to use anything but the numbers in their natural state. That's just me. I would've found the other guy to be a tool as well.
