Pilotday, you're quoting one of my reports from initial training. Haha. The TRI slapped a 2 in communication at me due to non-ICAO standard phraseology. He said, and I quote, "you're not in America anymore".
But yeah, your post is dead on. In light of spring loading one's career, working at Emirates for an American is a great strategy. But not for the faint of heart. For some odd reason, some people can be tough on yanks, and that's okay. Just suck it up and roll with the punches.
