Next time I hear the beautiful European rt exclaiming "Charlie Charlie, twice
really or roger"and continuing to read back clearances I will quickly correct
them in my finest cowboy accent because that's what us Americans do is sit
around thinking of ways to sound cool on the rt.
Ah yes, the oh-so-cool "Charlie Charlie". The "Roger..(read back clearance)..confirm?" for every transmission which does wonders for radio congestion. The French ATC speaking French to you because sign on freq flying a French reggo aircraft. And one of my favorites, the good old "Fully ready". Really? How does that compare on the readiness scale to, say, "Really ready" or "Completely ready", and is there an "Extremely ready" out there somewhere I don't know about? I think "Absolutely ready" would be the readiest ready of all.
