The problem is, supposedly, that REX are often doing it.
Could any REX jockey here please confirm that there is no company directive to say "pending clearance".
It's starting to creep in to where it don't belong, and we (in our game) wanna squash it. It's only "pending clearance" we're interested in thanks.
Stick to standard phrases as per AIP, at this time. (Oh! there's another one!!!!)
