I thought standard phraseology was to help EVERYBODY understand in a simple way what was going on!
Maybe Mayday Mayday Mayday, is not required in the USA, however starting to chatter non-standard phraseology, does not call attention and can be ambiguous!
The whole point with standard phraseology is to avoid ambiguity!
Have there not been enough fatal incidents that this is a complicated are to understand?
It is quite clear that ATC did not get attentive by the RT call, pretty sure sure a Mayday call would have created a much more effective response!
There should not be a guessing game of how the situation really is, blame arrogant Europeans for their wish of standard RT, but what the heck does Roll Trucks mean???????
