I used to wonder why 'ride reports' were so frequent in the US. Then someone advised me that it was all to do with ambulance-chasing legal parasites. If an airliner captain had turned the belts signs off and they encountered a little chop, some greedy unsecured passenger might try to sue the airline....
One excellent 'ride report' I heard came from a plummy-voiced ba 747 captain:
"Speedbird XXX, it's verrrrrrrrrryy smooooooooooooth. As one would quite naturally expect!"
.....improper usage of the phonetic alphabet (e.g., “Nectar” instead of “November”)
Probably someone trying to show that he'd been flying before 1957? That was the year that 'Coca' changed to 'Charlie', 'Nectar' changed to 'November' and 'Xtra' changed to 'X-ray'.
I understand that 'Whiskey' causes issues in certain parts of the Middle East?
