Oh I agree it is very funny on the Youtube video, just not as funny when you're trying to help center actually talk to someone.

I actually thought most of the responses on here was to tell me to "Lighten up Francis!"

This could lead to a new Major/Legacy interview question to screen out said "professionals".....

Tell us about the funniest thing you've ever said on "Guard".....

The only way to "police" this is from our own flight decks. Further, we can't stop the GA, corporate, and other users with a Sporty's handheld from transmitting foolishness on frequency. The best policy: IGNORE it.

What one aircraft overhead hears from a 17-year old with a handheld - and responds to - is heard by several aircraft which then respond to each other - which is then heard by even more aircraft. And on and on.

It's the perfect "relay". Stop responding. Police your own - that's all you can do.

Disagree....I hear it worse in the Middle East. If it isn't Iran telling someone they are violating their airspace it's a bunch of dumbasses cluttering up the frequency.

So apparently they have a bunch of shi**y millennials as well

I have noticed this trend lately, too. Wondering what the crap is going on. It's distracting and sometimes you miss part of a radio call for this. Never heard it from a FedEx cockpit, wondering who is doing this. Not funny at all, juvenile. Seems like this could be tracked down, if they wanted to do so.

Yeah right! It doesn't happen in Europe or anywhere else in the world. Perhaps 25 years international isn't much but I think that's enough time for me to comment.
