Yet again, the UK stated aim of becoming more 'standard europe' has a safety implication - and not a positive one.
All above comments are relevant, especially those relating to US phraseology.
I thought we knew that runway incursions were a significant hazard.....
SRG should exercise their (limited) muscle to point out that it's no good standardising with standard procedures which aren't safe. This is one such. The SRG top brass could even offer to resign en-masse if they felt strongly about this one..... But we know that 'no accidents (yet) is safety', err, sorry, 'safety is an accident', errr, whatever.....
