Start up and push-back procs. Clearances Phraseology should
be -Callsign clearance received by datalink. Acft type
stand number QNH XXXX. Fully ready request startup-.
Sorry chaps and chapettes of LHR & LGW but you may be hearing a few more 'fully ready' calls and a lack of ATIS letters. The quote above is taken from our briefing matter and shows why BAW may be guilty of the aforementioned sins.
As for me, most of my pet hates have already been mentioned:
'London, ABC123 Request'....you know the rest
'If available'
US carriers and their constant whining about ride reports and freakin' 'light chop'....NOBODY CARES
XPDR codes 'coming down' or 'with a flash'....give me strength
Australians are always 'on climb' or 'on descent'. Why is everybody else in the World 'climbing' or 'descending'?
Okay, back to my chanting exercises before braving US airspace again later
