With you.
So very many native English speakers (ha!) use this utterly pointles and timewasting sorry piece of non-standard RT.
London, good morning it's the birdseed 989 with you flight level 380 on course to bla bla bla
With or without you mate, life goes on!




And since more than one of you brought up the native tongue, a big please to all native UK-English speakers: ICAO pronunciation for two is too, three is tree. Two and three, pronounced in your native UK accents are often indistinguishable from each other to non-natives. Both sound like thuuei to our ears! UK ATC is the most professional, pleasant and non-arrogant ATC unit in Europe if you ask me, but this too/tree issue really needs to be sorted out.
