Talking about RT....nor is "my-salami-camal-cum"...or however you spell that word in arabic, used for a greeting an ICAO phraseology...why don't you Ozzies and Brits realize that the world is made up of other nationalities....did you understand when the guy said 25oh...because I did...or do you need me to take that stick out of your a**. How about when we pass 10000ft...why do we say "one hundred climbing 250"...where does "one hundred" come from. Like I said fly the damn plane and stop fretting the small stuff.
And the other arguement about "to 5000" or did they mean "25000"....its obvious it was "5000" or they would have said "FL"...guys use your brain or do you need everything handed to you on a silver platter.....oh wait, I know you must sleep with the FOM under your pillows.
And whats with the PDC read back in SYD...reading the Dep, tansistion, cleared alt, and squawk...isn't there a reason why there is a PDC number so we don't have to pick up and read back the entire clearence.....we might as well as forget about PDC and just call them for the clearence.
