Here's something to do just to have a bit of fun, ask those Qlink/Rex/Skytrans lads when they give their eta if that eta is for a 5 mile final or for landing.... Wait for the pregnant silence... Then the response. After noting eta, makes sure watch is calibrated with atomic clock on tso gps and wait. If their call is more than 2 mintues out, ask them again for their position, pointing out they were meant to be there 2 minutes ago. Then you can sit back and laugh at the garbled/no response from the crews. If it happens enough, they might get the idea



On the subject of right away, I'll never forget the day I heard....

Q-link: All traffic Bundy etc etc (standard call, followed by) All traffic, go ahead positon and intentions...

Anon: last time I checked, you guys weren't brisbane centre...
