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

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.

You definitely don't 'get it'.. But that's fine.

That being said, I'm sure I'd be annoyed after a few freq changes..
