Hey come on. For once cardiomd wrote about something he has some actually experience with. I would like him to continue that trend, so I will offer positive reinforcement. cariomd: good job

Have you asked a center controller if it really helps? In reality there is more going on then just you and the frequency you are on. Majority is a little strong....

Thanks for quoting this "Doctor" tool bag. I have him "blocked" so I do not have to read his drivel.

IMHO, when nobody says it after a block or two, it's not uncommon to hear a whiny "Everybody listen up" from ATC when it happens.
Even more important at busy hubs on Gound and Tower. I never hear ATC criticizing a "BLOCKED" call or even remember hearing something like "We are aware" or state they knew a block happen.
When it does happen, it's extremely rare that a single Cessna is in the mix. IMHO, this is a small percentage of "Tool Worthy" behavior with the cutesy accent, but necessary to safe ops. The call obviously has to be done quickly and not overused.
Carry on.

The guy on Guard in SOCAL this morning who responded to Delta's inadvertent call for push. It went like this:
DL XXX: "Ground, Delta XXX, push with Mike." (on Guard).
Guy: "Morning Delta, you're cleared to push."
DL XXX: "Cleared to push, Delta XXX."
Fortunately someone jumped on and said "Yer on GUARD."
I will admit, however, that it was kinda funny. It would have been less funny had it been a takeoff clearance...

Once I was monitoring guard and a Cessna declared an emergency... engine failure... said he was landing in a field and tried to relay that he needed emergency equipment sent that direction.
The response? "YOURE ON GUARD!!!"
Made steam come out of my ears. Luckily he got on and said he was down and safe. But this transmission could've made the difference in this guy's survival.

But yeah I guess it wasn't tool of the day worthy, more tool-of-the-hour. You heard the block and then the "blooocked" guy blocks another call. Going into kpwk was incredibly annoying.
