Maybe he doesn't drink heavily or chew tobbaco and doesn't have 2 ex wives or a girlfriend in 3 cities.

"Fun" and "trying to have a good time" have been placarded INOP on this site.
There are all kinds on this site - those who welcome FAs, PPLs, ATC, MX folks, Dr's and even lawyers (!), and then there are those who wish this to be an Airline Pilot only site. Personally, I like the mix, since you get nuggets of expertise from the broad spectrum that is the aviation community. You learn to lurk in some threads, and contribute in others.

Regardless - welcome and don't let the tools, trolls, and self proclaimed deities get to you.

LOL

I though the OP was saying he has a sense of humor since some of you obviously don't. But I like your reasoning better.

I spent 4 years training out of MLB and those controllers are cool dudes (most of them). About 80% of the time they deal with Turkish kids who can barely speak English, so I'm sure this controller was pleased to have a little 'Merican classic line like "killin me smalls" thrown in there. I remember if you heard Mike on the freq and threw in a "go Maple leafs" he'd usually give you whatever you wanted. Anyone know if he's still there? Anyways, kudos to the crew.
Mike, Ike, and John are still around from the old crew. Gabby retired and Don left to go to Titusville last I heard.

Mike, Ike, and John are all still there. Amongst the old timers, Gabby and Don both left or retired. With Mike, Maple Leafs may get you shorter taxi, if you want a free for all, do as you please, try "Go Irish".

You guys are all butt hurt over one word made a big deal about it and look at you, crying like because I said one word.

Clearly despite MY opinion I didn't mind the jargon, as I had taken note that it sounded as though they were having a good time. THE POINT OF THE POST.

Jeez I can only imagine what you'd say to a check pilot that had to critique your flight....

Let me think about it......


Nothing.

It's NOT that a big deal. Quit treating it as such.
I wasn't talking to you. Grow up.

Relax cowboy, the reply wasn't pointed generally in your direction. But being that you made a remark referring to the people who thought that was unprofessional, your comment was directed to me.


I'm grown. Quit getting bent over the small stuff, this was supposed to be a feel good post, but the keyboard bullies and the misery crew smelled blood and had to eat...

This is why we can't have good things folks!


In regards to the people who were picking up what I was laying down...Thanks, wish there were more like you on here..Have a blessed day ladies n gents...

[QUOTE=snippercr;1438899]No, there needs to be complete and total radio professionalism!

None of this "Check in" or "With you" garbage.

It's not "Clearance to Chicago" it's "IFR to Chicago"


Really, IFR? When are you ever filed other than? I think clearance Is adequate Clarence?
