<Flight 74 or 734? "Emirates SEVEN FOUR" vs. "Emirates SEVEN tree FOUR">
I only just read this thread and I cannot believe it! How can those two callsigns possibly be confusing?
As a well-paid union-protected government agency controller in a first-world country's primary gateway I would expect you to have the finest RT skills on the planet.
However, as a heavily-worked skipper flying sometimes for up to 22 hours with no decent rest and trying to understand third-world non-ICAO standard RT on a poor quality VHF or even HF radio transmitter... I think I can be excused for the odd moment of confusion?
