Did you even read my earlier post?

My point was simply that the bizjet driver swapped the order of the elements in the first clearance, which I think indicated his confusion right there. Not sure how you can 'disagree' with my pointing out that he didn't read back the clearance verbatim. It's a simple fact. Verbatim means EXACTLY the same terms, in the same order (obviously). The readback wasn't. Normally I wouldn't think it a big deal, but in this case I think it highlights the very cause of the confusion. I couldn't care less about 'subtle pauses' or whatever you said. That's not what I was talking about.

I don't think the crew should be 'buried', but I don't expect others to coddle me if I make a clearcut error on the job, either.
