Well said FO Gyro, I on occasions catch myself saying that to. I will stop insulting your eyesight.
Here's just a point, but just because they say 'fully ready' in Europe it doesn't make it right. When someone calls me ready at the holding point I really don't have the time to reconfirm that they're 'fully ready' before clearing them for an immediate take off.
Does anyone know if 'fully ready' is even in the ICAO docs?
