I fully support what has been said regarding controllers not being " mind readers"
We also teach our controllers that interpreting pilots voice intonations,or grammar used, and acting upon it , can be very dangerous. Of course after an accident and having a meeting with Captain Hindsight , the point : maybe the controller should have noticed ..etc.., always come back, and worse even on the courts . (for those old enough to remember Avianca B707 or the Yak42 in Tessaloniki to take only 2 cases ).
As it was said here and as I always preach ,please use PAN x3 , and you'll get everyone attention, and we can then all have a beer together at the bar discussing what I should have undertood or not.
