Yes I am referring to the phraseology. 'Next' is not usually required when reporting position on VHF with 2 number positions eg Dadok 23 while HF it is for airway verification and uses 4 number positions eg Dadok at 1823, Dadin next.
Aerad is an information source that I expect would be sitting right there on one of those shelves in every Qantas aircraft although not flying for Qantas I am only assuming. No need to know it back to front, just the bits you use everyday. They may use Jepessen or something else similar.
Changing FIR's like changing your socks would be even more reason to get it right wouldn't you think?
I'll have to remember on my next line check to use the excuse that, 'it is easier', when I am picked up on incorrect R/T.
