"Morning Ground, Callsign, B737, Stand x, information y, QNH, request clearance"
"Cleared to etc. information y, QNH"
"Cleared to, information y, QNH"
20 seconds later
"Callsign, request push and start""
"Callsign, say again stand number"
"Callsign, stand x"
"Callsign, push and start approved, information y, QNH"
"Callsign, push and start approved, information y, QNH"
I guess its all standard but just how many times do we need to tell ATC that we have the
ATIS and QNH? The words Polly and Parrot sometimes comes to mind!
