-"I read on the newsletter we're going to start doing it this way..."

-"Any plans when we get to Dubai/Anchorage/LAX/wherever?"

-"They finally delivered my car" (when sighting an expensive car on the ramp to be transported on a freighter)

-"Is my royal suite ready?" (when checking into the hotel)


Oral diarrhoea on the frequency (slight thread drift)


-"Air India/Jet/Indigo 123 on hand-over"
Obligatory terminology for all Indian carriers on frequency change (if at all possible omitting flight level, and transmitted without listening out first to ensure stepping on someone else)

-"Station calling?"
Obligatory Indian ATC unit's response to your first transmission, regardless how crystal-clear and ICAO-compliant it may have been

-"Descend to Flight Level 230, confirm?"
All clearances read-back by Indian carriers must be followed by "confirm?" (omitting callsign whenever possible to ensure maximum confusion)
