I took that to mean you spent "all day" correcting those trends, etc., rather than fixing the root problem. Possible internetish-to-English translation error....

Today's TOTD.
The guy walking around ATL wearing a sleeveless gray argyle sweater over his uniform with his epaulettes ever so slightly visible.
You, sir, are at the forefront of flight crew fashion.

Just wearing a sleeveless argyle sweater would qualify on its own. No bow tie?

To the Delta Flight northbound from Colombia today. Maybe not TOTD, but a worthy attempt. Immunity granted for Latin/South/New Hire Newbies.
The sequence of ATC was as follows,
Bogota Center
Barranquilla South
Barranquilla North
Kingston Center
Havana Center
MIA Center
Every handoff/new contact was standard, fine, no problem.
Problems? Every single approach to an FIR boundary was a call to the center requesting the next centers frequency up to and including MIA Center. Newflash for our heroes, it's written in the King's English on the chart you were issued. Read up on it.
Also, there were no less than three separate calls asking "Hello Bogota/Barranquilla, are you still there?"
Things are quiet down there at certain times, be quiet and if they want to talk to you, they will call on Guard.
Problem #2, there were three separate instances of calling the next FIR boundary center on Guard instead of the right frequency. Kudos to the polite Guard cops away from the RJ infested NE USA.
FYI, one doesn't have to contact MIA center 10 minutes prior northbound from "Koo-ba" anymore.
My bets are a Chief Pilot or Schoolhouse problem child CA was onboard. I personally like my peace and quiet for naptime at that time of day and of course, my radio discipline is flawless

I have a decent amount of time flying around that area and granted the aircraft were older and less than stellar I did find myself lost comm occasionally until I was able to get a relay from another A/C for a new freq. More so happened headed to Brazil dealing with Venezuela. I found it helpful to grab a backup freq from them to not have to try out the entire list on the charts.
As for calling MIA 10 min before, UAL just put out a bulletin stating this is required.
