Gone west;
All we really need for you to do is read back the transponder code. However, most of the busy places, the reason that you do that, is that we have something called PDC ( Predeparture Clearance.) You get your clearance either from a printer at the gate or on your ACARS. You just read back the code to ensure that you got the right flight plan clearance.
As controllers, we normally like short read backs. If you read back a clearance, <shrug> ok, hopefully doing that because you haven't gotten one via PDC. If you are in doubt, they you should always read back everything. However, if you are sure that you got it right, then let your feelings be your guide... Wilco or your call sign is a very nice read back. It puts all the onus on the pilot <G>...
Speaking of Seminars <G>, we have a safety seminar coming up in April for you to come too in Denver <G>...
