Varmint, If you use the UK CAA CAP413, you will be using 'standard RT'. It is JAR compliant (the rest of the world outside the US!!) and sounds much more professional than the crap spouted by certain N American 'cowboys'.
I too am sick to death of hearing 'Emirates 123 level three five oooohhhhh' or '4246 comin' down with the flash'. That sh1t might sound cool in the States my friend, but frankly it makes the rest of us want to vomit! BTW, it's not even standard in the US!!!
Get educated my friend and stop blaming everyone else for your lack of it!
For your future reference, if you stick rigidly to the SOP's, there is not one trainer that would be able to argue that you are in the wrong as you would be able to point out the error of their ways in 'the book'. So I can only surmise that you weren't clear on the SOP's from the outset? I guess that is the training depts fault as well??
