.....and one more recent observation that causes us ATCOs some consternation: a lot of guys who've been transferred to our freq lately have not paused and listened before they checked in, needlessly interrupting a dialogue between myself and another aircraft, meaning more precious time being wasted. On a number of occasions, not too many admittedly, some of these culprits have pressed the button even while two way comms are being conducted, thereby giving us that real satisfying squeal on the freq
OK, that's off my chest. I'll stop complaining.......for a nanosecond
Have a good one and to all those who know you're doing a good job with your comms, thanks for making ATC a pleasure when you do just what you're supposed to do. We do notice.
