Thanks OLDI, the inappropriate use of terminology was my only agenda on starting this thread. But it kinda grew wings.
This forum has real potential for improving (or if used wrongly destroying) the relationship between ATC and pilots in Dubai.
I had standard phraseology beaten into me by a anally retentive Englishman, way back at the start of my career and to be honest he did me a favour.
However, since a previous thread started by an ATCO regarding incomplete pilot R/T calls was made, I make even more effort to try and nail my calls.
It doesn't matter what side of the fence we are on, sometimes it is hard to look past our own perspective. The limits, policies, procedures and frustrations that our organisations thrust on us are never apparent to the person at the other side of a microphone. So lets try and keep it constructive, humorous and don't bite the bait too often.
