I wonder if it was the guy who had to give his position report no less than 8 times to NY ARINC because he was doing it in the oddest format I'd ever heard.
Unnamed Air Line: "Uh...we're going to XXN XXW next and we're estimating XXN XXW at XXXX. Uh, we're at 350 with some light chop. How are the rides?"
NY ARINC: (after several "Say Again"s) "What is your current position?"
Unnamed Air Line: "Uh...we're here now."
The IRO and I were just scratching our heads.
I won't name the airline, but it was one of the big 3 and not headquartered in Chicago or Fort Worth.
