It might sound terribly cool, Bubba, and some of the recent American arrivals in this neck of the woods use similar "terminology", which might be OK in a monocultural/monolingual environment. However, even if you ignore the ATC implications, it's a recipe for confusion, even disaster in an airline with thirty+ nationalities among its pilots.
