Re: Why is RT in ME so bad
You're right. The only thing is, it often degenerates down to neither the pilot nor the ATCO using the callsign although this worst case is usually not with UAE but with the Indians and other 3rd world ATC wallies.
Very disappointing to hear the cream of western aviators picking up the habit.
And what's with everyone using the new ICAO R/T phrase:
"Any chance of...... blah blah (level/direct to/speed change)
Any chance???? WTF???
I blame the yanks. They always start this kind of thing, eg starting a readback with:
"Okaaaaaaayyyyy, understand direct to...... blah blah" (without a callsign) Now everyone does it.
Or...... :
"Charlie charlie..." WTF???
Do you have to wobble your head when you say that???
