Again, what standard is that? Is it ICAO radio phraseology, CAP 413 or CX Vol2Part2 to name a few? My point is - there is no "STANDARD" that's going to cover the entire world. Americans have difficulties in Taipei, sure, but the Taiwanese have difficulties in the US - who's non-standard here?

And yes, 4driver, technically, we do! CX flies to 50 countries - tough on us, we have to know how things are done in all of them. Just like the Rules of the Air - ICAO lays down the framework, but all member states are free to modify it to suit their local needs. I believe only the Oceanic airspace is strictly ICAO as far as radio work goes (still, Atlantic and Pacific, for example, are not exactly the same), but cross any border - you are in someone else's airspace, and THEIR standard applies.

Just one more thing for us to bitch about, I guess.
