They go away when you don't engage. My bigger issue is when some poor schmuck has an actual problem and is broadcasting on Guard, invariably there's some hero pointing out that they're on Guard.

Yes that happened to me once, trying to relay from an (obviously scared) GA pilot with engine trouble and people kept interrupting to school us about guard use. Of course I don't know which airline they were from, might even have been taxi drivers in TJ. But I have my suspicions.

Other big issues isn't so much the meows themselves, it's the fact a lot of folks just turn off guard so they don't have to listen to it. At least it's not as bad in the west.

Have heard that as well.

I have been disappointed with the controllers not calling out the ones that screw up after a meow and then read back a freq change or shortcut with their callsign on guard after said meow......

THIS! The only time I have been in a cockpit where someone thought guard antics were funny was 135.
