Three Yellows,
I guess we all have the occasional sub-standard RT moment. You should have heard me during my IR reval last week, it is amazing what happens as the capacity drains away. If people haven't been flying for a while then, as you say, perhaps a reason. Personally, I think the standard of RT is generally excellent with the competent use of of the airwaves far out numbering the not so. If I were to pick one serious failing that seems to defeat too many pilots it is what to do when told to standby. I have on occasion heard Farnborough having to get quite blunt (an understatement) with pilots on a number of occasions.
DuncanF,
And some of your fellow pilots are probably
appalled at your spelling ...
Oh for heavens sakes. I would estimate 20% of pprune is made up of spelling/grammar related diatribes
Enough already
