I can take ball busting as much as I can give it....and you're right...its fun when I'm bored. I don't want to actually p*ss anyone off or make myself sound like a pr*ck though. I can assume you, I am not.

I have a lot to learn still and value the more experienced guys info and advice on here. When the time comes, I may just take you up on that offer!

Sorry to OP for derailing the thread.

The littlest things like calling for push seem to be next to impossible for more than a few these days and it’s maddening.

I'd say 9 out of 10 guys I fly with don't check in with ground and/or approach with the ATIS letter, causing the controller to ask if we have it. Why is that so hard?

my favorite is when ATC asks what your Mach number is, The pilot tells them, then they add all this extra unnecessary chatter by asking what they need, as if ATC is going to keep it a secret from you…. Like why the F do you waste your breath?

That doesn't really have anything to do with inexperience. Thats been asked as long as I can remember. I think a lot of pilots pick up a lot of "pilot lingo" over time on the radio and sometimes it gets worked into their own personal bank. I just hope "only a nibble" doesn't get worked in when describing bumps! Heard that one a few times.......uggh!

Hows that? We’ve got a lot of things in our CBA that pilots at AA and UA would love to have.
