If you forget what to say to ramp, just repeat what the Ca is saying. Problem solved.

Sorry but if you don’t like CAs dictating their pace, probably should have not went to DAL.

If you’ve ever missed a flow time, a commute, or got stuck behind traffic ahead, you would know that every second counts. ATC priority is FCFS, so get the a/c moving. If anything a push clearance is not required to be read-back; a simple “roger” or calsign should suffice.

Tool of the day are the tools that think the Captain can disregard how he treats the crew. Rushing for five seconds creates a lousy tone.

Every second absolutely does not count, but I can assure you many accidents can be traced to rushing.

“He”

How dare you assume that only men can be Captains!

Please, gender neutral pronouns.

😉

Implying that women might be tools would be misogyny.

No, but a man asserting how a woman would/could/should feel about a hypothetical certainly is. :D

Implying that a woman isn’t smart enough to be misogynistic, is in fact, misogynistic by yourself.

lol. Love the world we live in

I'll add the guys/gals who verbalize the assigned altitude/heading/airspeed they just set on the panel while I'm in the middle of reading the clearance back to ATC. Gimme a second and we can verify it when the mic isn't keyed.

Maybe not toolish, but distracting to say the least.

Why are you even listening to the ground crew at that point?
I used to toggle it off until I finished calling for push.


But that's just me. Never found any captain to be a tool for talking on a freq I wasn't listening to.

Sounds like a nice feature, does it come with autothrottles and RNP?
