RTO:
The US way of running aviation is about a 50 years ahead of anything found in the EU, and as someone mentioned, has evolved into a system that works, handles more traffic, is simpler, safer and more efficient.
L337, you are fully correct! What a naive and arrogant thing to say.
RTO, you are probably flying IMC, get out of that cloud! You still don't get the point with the emergency call. The way the pilot communicates the emergency causes all the confusion.
And why stick to standard ICAO phraseology when you can make up your own RT, the standard ICAO phraseology is in your opinion probably only for non native English speakers.
