instead of pointing fingers at everyone else why don't we all just do the RT the correct way, and that includes callsign readback. It is all too easy to readback someone elses callsign these days, especially with so many similar callsigns, not just EK 39, 49 59, but quatar 39, 49 and 59 as well etc etc etc. Personally I would rather not have someones unwelcome landing lights in my face due to a callsign error. And yes, it has happened to me too, in spite of trying very hard to listen out carefully.
Happy landings fellas and to our ATC colleagues, "anal Aussies" and all, thanks for he great job you guys do.
In spite of management we seem to get the job done
