I hear you... So annoying! Like today at 400 feet AGL with the runway clearly in sight 2 whites/2reds, the FO called: "Glideslope!". It was like 1/3 of a dot deviation not even half a dot which in that case is a standard call out by Airbus but for God Sake just look outside bro. Also another thing who really grinds my gears, are the guys who call " 1000 to go" when they are PF cause I miss it. Well done buddy, now I won't call it anymore! Or the guys calling " Clear right side" every 10 seconds when I taxi the aircraft and I can clearly see ahead... Common sense at sea level...
Concerning the PAPI... Who needs that seriously?
