How do you know when there's an FSO in the room? They check the window position in the room and make sure they turn their backs on it cos they're not allowed to look out of it, (haha, haha)

Blogg's, you may need to hand your licence back, last I read, the final responsibility lies with the PIC to see and avoid, regardless of whether there's an ATC or FSO eff-up. So what are your windscreens for? So chicks can look in through them at you at the gate? (If you are a female pilot and take offence to this, don't, cause doods perve on you at the gate when you're in the box office).

Standard radio calls eh? Ive been listening to them as a pilot and ATC (ex) for 30 years, they ain't standard, it's some ******** instructor teaching a student to report at 10 miles, midfield crosswind join, mid downwind, base, mid base, turning final, mid final, backtracking, clear of active runway, clear of all runways, flaps retracted, mag check, ****, I left the master on. Multiply that by 5 aircraft in the circuit. Busy eh!

Did you know that one major Australian aerodrome was counting movements by the number of radio calls, NOT by a takeoff and landing?
