How do you pick up your clearance?
I usually say " Good evening CLT Clearance, FLT-XXX, clearance to Mobile"
Or sometimes " FLT-XXX I'd like to pick up my IFR clearance to Mobile" *Only verbose when it is slow.
Is there a more proper way? I have never said instruments, however it is an IFR clearance. What is wrong with asking for you IFR clearance?

So it is the redundant part that annoys you? Just trying to understand what is being said wrong. Most times I don't even listen to my FO when he is getting clearance, I am doing other things. I am just happy when I get an FO that doesn't scare me, screwing up a clearance request doesn't really bother me.

Well the AIM doesn't offer a whole lot of guidance here but from the other side of window having done an ATC minor the callsign is the most important, the fact that you are IFR is very helpful but if you are an airliner it's pretty easy to assume that you are IFR so that goes without saying, and lastly the destination to verify that this is the correct flight plan. So callsign and destination are the important parts and if you are not flying an airliner it will definitly help to add the fact that you are IFR, in other words do I need to find a strip or make one? All you need. Frankly I think it's just a moot point. Who cares?

Comair has a communications lesson in indoc.....It is funny there is audio of two ways of asking for a clearance. Once is this person with a strong southern accent blabbing on and on, and finishing with "yall have a nice day" And the other is the CORRECT way as an airline pilot to request a clearance..... Had a good laugh
