Not always "Pretenious..."
I had mentioned earlier the possibility for confusion between a "HAMPTON 4 DEPARTURE" and "HAMPTON FOR DEPARTURE".
The read-back by the Anglophone F/O was quickly queried by a busy Idlewild Control. The Scotophone Captain was word perfect at once. Congratulations to both.
Leaving this embarrassed F/O wondering if another number could or should be used. ( It was my first trip !)
