HSWL Or yet another occasion when the rate of climb was phenomenal and I called out "Approaching 1000 to go". The LH seat pedantic calmly corrected me in a gentle sarcastic tone saying "the call is 1000 to go, NOT approaching 1000 to go." He completely missed the point that such was the rate of climb at the time, that the chimes would have sounded before I could have completed the support call - the chimes being the back-up to the support call - not the initiator.

Instead of bad mouthing the captain you should have stayed ahead of the "fast climbing" airplane and reduced your excessive climb rate to 500 feet per minute for the last 1000 feet, especially if you're in RVSM airspace, sir.
