I am outraged at the pathetic atitude. We are all guilty of poor RT at times whether you admit it or not. Some of the references to changes are concerning - if anyone had ever read CAP413 they would know that there are no changes but it is simply accepted that the 'slang' we often hear on the RT is acceptable and has become the norm- and it is not.
Let us also consider that if it were not a fact that there are a very high proportion of incidents in the UK are caused or contributed to by poor or incorrect RT then there would be no need for such a reminder but the facts prove it all - we are at fault on occasion and in some cases positively dangerous. Many Pilots have not undergone any refresher training for RT since they qualified and in many airlines it is not a core part of their base checks. So lets not all be full of bravado and pretent to be offended because of how GOOD we are because the facts show we are not all that good on the whole and is it not about time that instead of knocking the people that at least try to do something - in their own time - while many of us sit on our fat behinds drinking red wine we support some possitive action. - it it stops one air miss or worse it IS worth it
