camisa10. Desend means do it now. If I mean when ready then I'll say that. More often than not,when the pilot is expecting a descent restriction in my sector, but I give an earlier descent, the "now or when ready" question gets asked, like I'm descending the aircraft for fun,and not because there is traffic in the way. Some controllers do not help the cause however. After giving a descent instruction and getting asked the now or when ready question, they reply "when ready"! It annoys me.
