Agree about the stupid lame drawn out Blaawwcked's, but a short "blocked" is more useful than not.

IMHO, when nobody says it after a block or two, it's not uncommon to hear a whiny "Everybody listen up" from ATC when it happens.

Even more important at busy hubs on Gound and Tower. I never hear ATC criticizing a "BLOCKED" call or even remember hearing something like "We are aware" or state they knew a block happen.

When it does happen, it's extremely rare that a single Cessna is in the mix. IMHO, this is a small percentage of "Tool Worthy" behavior with the cutesy accent, but necessary to safe ops. The call obviously has to be done quickly and not overused.

Carry on.
