pakeha-boy,
well mate...followed a quantus "heavy" into KLAX today....and they used the word "heavy"...made me feel right at ease...thanks boys
Well mate, since it is a requirement in the US, what's the big deal? In the states ATC will also address you as "heavy" whereas in Oz you never hear ATC refer to anyone as "Qantas XXX heavy". As someone pointed out earlier it does sound quite wanky.
And Keg, if we ever fly together I'll make sure there's some beers riding on it
