Thank f*#k they’ve buggered off.
I have actually started citing my aircraft type on radio calls as the airline call sign clearly isn’t enough of a wakeup call.
I had a question from a RA machine once whilst on final for 06, ‘Are you exiting at Bravo, we are wanting to do a touch and go’. No I said, we are a Airbus A320 180 seat Jet 70T we will require full length and backtrack.
Backtracking and having them continue approach to see if I can get off in time. I told them I was exiting off Alpha, I was concerned that they could potentially clip me at the rear if I hadn’t cleared the runway completely if we went off B. Needless to say I lodged a report over that one. Nothing came from that, I guess legally nobody did anything wrong, just people pushing boundaries which is a no go in my book, and my training department also.
