Gees Bob,
Hope your feelings don't get too hurt when you're flying in controlled airspace and the controller says that phrase to you
Personally I have never used the phrase, but like I said if there was a situation where I thought it was warranted then I'll have no qualms using it. Some people really do need all the help they can get. I once remarked to another medium category turboprop that we would need to back-track the runway from the full length after landing. Said turboprop acknowledged this, but continued flying their normal approach. When the penny finally dropped that we would still be on the runway when they planned to touchdown, they were at 400'. They then decided to do an orbit at that altitude on final
