Whilst on this subject, I was down in the Far East the other day minding my own business, when two gentlemen popped up on guard and started asking each other about the ride heading from Singapore to Oz. One was English and one American. The chat went on for a while. Eventually I told them, when I could get a word in edgeways, to perhaps take the talk to 123.45. The English guy told me on 121.5 “why don’t you get a life!” I thought this was a little strong and a pretty rude.
I don’t normally say anything when I hear talk on 121.50. Normally people just telling another carrier to call ATC on a different freq. I have heard a myriad of other things including cricket scores.
By the way I know who the guy (from EK) was on 121.50 as I heard you later on the same frequency. I looked you up..... hope we meet soon!
