New use for Guard?
This may be an old topic - if so, apologies for going over the same old ground. My company's policy (along with everybody else I would suppose) is to monitor 121.5 on box two - esp when flying in French airspace. Anyway, the other day we were going to or from Lis when to my surprise, I heard on guard, two UK a/c from the same company, talking to one another - one was passing on reqd fuel uplift figures for the other to relay - no doubt due to range. I am not suggesting that the exchange lasted that long - maybe a minute at most, but it is the misuse of the frequency which I find distasteful from a professional and safety viewpoint. The operator's name genuinely escapes me but I remember remarking to myself that I wouldn't have expected such a malpractice from those guys. I am I over-reacting or are there others out there who share my view????
