I nominate all on page 557 for totd

The United pilot climbing out of LAX telling center:

"United ### . . . burning gas."

ZLA: I'm sorry, say again?

"Goin' to Mexico City . . . "

ZLA: I'm sorry what is the request?

"Requesting a CLIMB."


:rolleyes:

Back to instrument rating. "Requesting higher when able" would have saved talking on a busy frequency.

You are on page 557.

Not the best way, but an attempt to educate a controller and IMHO, not quite tool-worthy.

My favorite from last winter and an evening rush hour arrival into BOS. A JetBlue guy asks approach what his sequence was because they were "turning into a pumpkin"

ATC asks if he's declaring minimum fuel.

JB: No, we are close to duty time limits for our next flight out.

They gave this clown priority.

Goodness gracious, boomer: 25 minutes per post?!

tool of the day.....the guy that wished Toronto Center a "happy 4th of July" when handed off.

cool of the day....the Houston Center controller that enthusiastically wished British Airways a "happy 4th" :D

Years ago when DAL first started flying to Brazil, everyone listened to his "Buenos Noches" check in for 6+ hours.

It was fine with Maiquetia Center, but he ended up with silence saying the same greeting when calling Manaus, Brazilia and Sao Paulo centers for 6+ hours ;)

Interesting. I'm seeing these posts on page 558. Your computer seems slow.

The whole goddam* BRA National team. Called in sick for this bullsh*t

The putz should take his act to the local comedy club during open mic night, if he wants to be a comedian rather than congesting the frequency with empty chatter.

Definitely no cognac or breadsticks for this rookie:mad:.
