So how do we tackle the 75% of wasted air time made by commercial pilots then ??
Cut down on what we say!
Think..formulate..speak!
Read back only what is required. Don't use un-necessary words.
eg "
the speedpig/midbird etc" - pompous, not required
"
radar heading" -what's wrong with "heading"
etc
PP Radar: some of your colleagues favour the verbose, incorrect & ugly "make your heading a radar heading" instead of the shorter & correct "maintain present heading" so ATC are sometimes their own worst enemies!
