Re: Dubai Ground Freq

"Dubai ground, Knobend 181"

"Knobend 181, Dubai ground, go ahead"

Hmmmm oh, it works!! Okay then: "Knobend 181, blah blah blah.....etc"

The first two calls are unnecessary. Why not just call them (you know they're home because you can hear them talking to everyone else) and give the details all in ONE R/T call and give the next guy a friggin break???? Is Middle East aviation a sheltered workshop or something? It seems so simple to me...???
With all due respect........

I don't work Dubai, but close by - but the same applies pretty much everywhere. The thing is, when you just jump on the frequency with all your details, what you may not know - in our simple world - is we may well be co-ordinating something with one of the various other sectors. Meaning which we miss your goodies and have to ask you to repeat yourself...

It's called establishing communications. Imagine if we just gave you your ATC clearance without asking if you're ready for it (even though we know you're on the air as you just spoke to us)...

And no we can't simply change policy. Can you just change your airline's policy ad hoc? Don't think so.
