-What if we read back clearances, instructions, rwy in use and QNH like we are supposed to, and left it at that? Reading back the wind information is not a requirement. Maybe in India, but not here. No, you don't sound more professional when you do.

-What if we give the call sign and FL when we change freq? Or passing and cleared FL? This is normal practice in the civilized world. I don't know if it's an actual requirement (in UAE it is), but it will normally save a couple of Txmissions. No, you don't have to say "We are on hand over". If you have not been handed over, you're not on the freq. Maybe in India, but not here.

-What if Bahrain could see us without "Squawk Ident"? The rest of the world can, so why not you?

-What if numbers could be said like they should be said? It's heading three hundred, not three zero zero. Two thousand five hundred feet, not two five zero zero feet.

-What if we didn't have to say POB all the time?

-What if we didn't have to state requested FL? Aircraft type? Isn't that what the filed flight plan is for?

-Read back the f@cking call sign! There is no excuse for not doing so.

Proper R/T saves lives. It's as simple as that.
