that's why so many professional pilots do it.
I've never heard professional pilots do it, I'd hope they don't!
It's just frustrating hearing it since it's not standard, and there's absolutely no sence to it.. The ATC wants to know what you want on the initial call.. he doesn't want to call you back to ASK you what you want.. ?
Well it wasn't rhetorical.. A lot of people do it, and alot of people use PPRUNE, i was wondering if anyone(perhaps those that do) could shred some light onto why people do it?
