You don't have to do it anymore because of improvements made.
Was it from a radio transmit delay, or from a delay in the voice activated intercom used in-cockpit? I remember back in the days, using an intercom and having to make some kind of noise to get the system to activate, but if you just started talking it would ...ut off the first part of the first word.

I always assumed that this was the origin of "annnddd..."

Smile 'with you..."

F14 Tomcat: "Pax River tower, Maverick's with you, requesting high speed fly-by."

Twr: "Negative Ghostrider, the pattern is empty, but because of your incorrect phraseology, fly-by is denied."

Maverick: ' That SOB cut me off."

If somebody doesn't want to talk, they aren't going to talk. How about the fact that while you're wasting time saying that, somebody else could be trying to make a position report to you? I think that's enough reason to not use that phrase. The following link is a great article. It requires registration but is worth it.

Interesting, I had thought it was because of a three second delay, and "and" happen to be able to take up those three seconds rather nicely. So I'm not really sure, never heard about what you mentioned, but it does make sense.

Absolutely, positively wrong. If I'm in the pattern when you call on the downwind, I'm going to alert you to the fact that I'm there. I have no desire to get hit by you, and this doesn't change based on whether or not you ask me to tell you I'm around. If I wasn't going to call before you asked me to, I'm not going to do it after you asked me to. All you're doing is wasting time and energy by making that call. Plus, do you really want "all traffic in the area" to advise you? If you're approaching from the north and I've already departed the pattern to the south, I'm still in the area but pose no threat to you.

Don Brown was an ATL center controller that has some really great articles on this subject. He writes on the AVweb site. If you have some extra time, check it out....

It works nicely as a separater between your flight number and altitude. Sure, "flight level" will separate the flight number from the altitude,
i.e., "Abex four forty flight level three eight zero"
but "with you" is shorter, and somehow easier to get out quickly.

How about this.... "Abex four forty one seven thousand"
Was that ABX 441 at 7000? or ABX 440 at 17000?

Stick a "with you" in there and there's no confusion.
Use that in any non-english speaking country and you will create tons of confusion. "With you at 7000" can sound like "two seven thousand." Stick to the standard venacular, it was written for a reason by people that where looking at the big picture and not some small zone of acceptability.

I have the same respect for all pilot groups...wasn't bashing any one of them. I already went thru the airline pilot forums pointing out the same ridiculous absurdity of "...with you".

To make you happy I removed any reference to the aircraft type I fly.

Another thing -- ATC points out on-coming traffic at the flight levels simply so you won't be alarmed thinking he's at the same altitude. A simple "thank you" or "in sight" in the inital reply is fine but there is no need to later clog up the frequency to tell him you finally have the traffic in sight -- he doesn't care one iota. I have seen a lot of blocked calls because guys think they need to later tell center they have traffic in sight.
also when people are given a crossing restriction. There is no need to tell center when you are leaving your altitude. They know that you are gonna be going down to the crossing restriction.

From the AIM---

5-3-3. Additional Reports

a. The following reports should be made to ATC or FSS facilities without a specific ATC request:

1. At all times.

(a) When vacating any previously assigned altitude or flight level for a newly assigned altitude or flight level.

I don't like to make that report either, but it is right there in black and white.

read my quote carefully, (below) and explain where the confusion exists. "at" was not in the radio transmission example.

That said, I agree with you its not 'AIM correct'. My only point remains that "with you" can serve a purpose; it's not as dumb as some people claim. But sticking with the standard vernacular is never a bad idea.
