Somewhere in Australia sits a tosser who first started out reporting that he "maintains" 5000 or whatever, satisfied in the knowledge that he left his mark on Australian aviation.
I recently heard a capt begin his PA with the words,"Good morning ladies and gentlemen,
the captain speaks..."
Twas a pom, of course.
At least your Rat driver leaves the word "the" at the FIR boundary. Even he wouldn't fly around aussie referring to himself as
'the' Qantas ###...!!
Would he????
