What I want to know is how professional is it to use company frequencies?
I think it's professional enough so long it is not abused. It is a good way to compare ground speeds, discuss aircraft idiosyncrasys, "hey is things cylinder head temp always this high"
and other operational matters. The
other talk should be kept to a minimum. Especially if you have problems selecting the correct mic.
I've lost count of the number of times I've heard someone on company say, "centre are trying to contact you."
