This problem might be solved in a short time when ATC transmissions are being shown on your MFD instead of VHF/HF comms. Then again, that might pose more problems because no one else besides ATC and the aircraft that is being addressed knows about the ATC instructions.
*Sigh* Which just supports the argument that has been put forward here of a lack of situational awareness when everybody isn't hearing what's going on. You're entitled to your opinion, but it seems there are many voices here, both drivers and ATC who hold a different point of view!!
(BTW, I was under the impression SELCAL was predominantly used in HF environments, where normal VHF communications aren't possible. And chances are these are in procedural ATC environments not busy terminal areas...............can't really see the link)
