frothy,

Very good post ....... This is a regular occurrence at an airport in country NSW that I fly into a couple of times a week. I have noticed that it is starting to catch on with more & more crews that fly for this particular airline. On more than one occasion I have heard VFR pilots calling inbound & asking the current position of the RPT A/C...... the pilot always replies with IFR jargon that no VFR pilot would have any clue about. I once confronted a crew on the ground and ask why they persist on calling waypoints instead of giving distance and bearings ..... The answer I got was less than polite!!! "Mate how about you get back in your bug smasher and worry about your own flying"

It's all about keeping the sky safe ………we were all once VFR pilots and should try and accommodate all our fellow airman.
