US ATC question
I am just SLF with some ATC knowledge though.
I have been flying around quite a bit in the US lately and enjoyed listening
to channel 9 on United Airlines which usually provides an ATC feed.
A thing that suprised me is that en-route controllers seem to always
use their ACC unit name, eg "XY Center" in every transmission they
make, which is rather uncommon in Europe.
Wouldn't it save a lot of perhaps unnecessary RT time by just omitting that
unit name in every transmission.
This might also provide some time to speak a little bit more slowly
and clearly, the instructions are pretty hard to understand for
non-native speakers I guess.
So my question is how US controllers think about that and how difficult it
is for non-native pilots to understand controller's instructions in the US?
Thanks a lot for your answers and please remember that this is just a
harmless question by a passenger before getting too polemic about this.
