Meleagertoo, I hear you, it seems ridiculous but we have close to 40 different nationalities and to avoid incidents due to missundestandings they have to be a little bit picky on standard call out. I also wish it would be more relax like the american style but I’m just a normal line captain. I don’t make the rules.
I did a raw data departure yesterday on A319. My company allows this so don’t think we can be called children of the magenta; Well at least not me.
