Grrrr!
Yesterday I gave a conditional line-up..
"XXX****, after the landing 737, 2 miles final, line-up runway XX" The response came;
"The landing 737, line-up XX" Of course, I respond;
"Confirming, AFTER the landing 737, line-up" And I was given;
"Yes, THE LANDING 737, line-up" Now, Ive heard this a bit recently and took it just to be slow fingers versus quick lips, but this instance made me rather concerned! I mean, they often miss out the type or the distance but Id have thought the most essential part is the word AFTER?!
Think I will be making use of the Watch Managers recording option and send it to airline Ops in future!!
