Are you sure commercial aviation is right for you?

Line up and wait vs. Taxi into position and hold.

Sorry, I am old school and still prefer the later.

Yeah, I prefer TCA and ARSA but they changed that too.

General Aviation people who use guard as their own frequency for irrelevant things. It's sad because I know people who now don't listen to guard because of this.

I'd like to see an Ops Spec paragraph that bans AIM terminology. Would that be in the "A" section or the "B" section?

Yep. Line up and wait. A term better suited for the checkout line at Wal-Mart or a drive-thru fast food outlet.

Real professional sounding from the good old ICAO who has dreamed up other outstanding phraseology and terms that warrant major eye rolling.

Check your AIM, johnso. Those terms are not slang, but actual terms with meaning.

That's correct ICAO phraseology.
