"Contact Departure" barely airborne pet peeve
This bother anyone else? ATC does an amazing job and I really respect them. But when they tell you to contact departure when you barely have the gear up it bothers me. Same with telling you where to exit and contact ground when you're still going 90 knots down the runway. Anyone else feel the same way?

A lot of mil towers will tell you to switch to departure as you're taking the active runway to takeoff, but I do agree that getting a crazy taxi clearance while still doing 90 KTS on the runway is a little annoying. Especially when they get annoyed when you ask them to repeat it.

)As a former controller I would anticipate this sometimes by adding" no need to acknowledge" if appropriate.

I agree, major pet peeve on landing when your still doing 80kts..
Like someone mentioned above, I do like it when we go to south of the border and the tower just tells you to contact departure once airborne. Leaves it to the crews discretion.
