As Scott Voigt said, we are happy just to get a callsign at all in the readback. Dealing with a couple of the Middle Eastern Airlines and Sub-Continental Airlines in particular, you have to fight to get a callsign at all. When you have 8 guys on frequency at the same time all from the same company, all with similair flight numbers, all with the same sounding voice, its sometimes a game for all the family trying to ascertain who it was who readback which instruction.

Believe me if all you guys have to worry about is getting the readback at the start or at the end of a transmission, you have been mollycoddled for way too long.
