Cactus flat-Jack--great contribution.
Let me cast my mind back,,,Humm 14 hours to LHR, what to do...Position------, now what? Oh, if I was an arrogant "Sky-god" with a red tail who make most operating OS ashamed to be Aussie; humm, ill have plenty of time to come up with ****e like " I thought that 121.5 was VB's chat frequency? I'm pretty sure they can't afford their own....”
From my experience as an ATC many moons ago, QF’s induced 10:1 the number of headaches compared to the cooperative AN drivers. Maybe because they were actually pilots and not radio operators? Funny at Brisbane Centre how we also got faxes & AFTN msgs from other centers with the Qantas comment of the week. Just embarrassing. you really think they like you ****s in LAX??? You probably do.
Well guess we won’t be hearing much more of QF Xmit on guard because form what I see they don’t operate domestically anymore—oops now it called “Jet Star.” Gee who operates their aircraft Cactus??? Bet you really didn’t think it would happen. Keep living in that cocoon! Feel the ice cracking beneath your arrogant ass? Hope you have more than one strip son, or you will be continuing your career as radio operator for a long time.

Nil By Mouth?
Hey what's the story? Departures called us up on Christmas day and told us one of their colleagues was on the flight, but requested we advise the cabin crew that he wasn't 100% well. Suggested that he not receive cabin service
in order to prevent his "condition" deteriorating.
Poor old Ged
Seems this is a common occurence. You ATCOs are bad boys Best you not tell your mates about your travel plans....

Jealousey (emphasis on louse) will get you everywhere in aviation in OZ, BA50. So, you were sacked as an ACTO then? Or you just moved to VB as a pilot such that you could earn half the pay?
Nunc est bibendum
Who are the wankers (aka “The Guard Police”) terrorising any and all if a millisecond off carrier wave pulses on 121.5???
The only funny one I've heard recently was that someone had taped a whole bunch of 'doh's from the Simpsons and when someone did it, they bounced back with that for about three seconds! I may not ever do it myself but it brought a smile to my face!

Far enough commentKEG .
All I am saying is that if anyone Xmits on guard, they will probably know it before you can Xmit “Guard” back. I don’t think it necessary for 5 or so different guys to pounce back with “Guard.” I agree with you when you are busy on director or approach and someone babbles out “2UM’s 5 Meet & Ass…….” That this is annoying, but a whole bunch of other drivers belching out “guard” is equally distracting. I also heard the “Doh!” recording which also made me laugh.
Cactus Flap-Jack .
What the F-ck would I have to be jealous of? Sacked as an ATC---NO. Have you heard of redundancy? Well I got a nice big “phat” check just before TAAATS came in. The way Jet-Star are taking over, I would suggest you may become familiar with the term “Redundancy” also, but without the distinction mine had, which was voluntary. Good luck with your long career with one lonely strip and making those radio calls.
With a fabulous attitude like yours and your wealth of aviation experiance, one day you will make a fine cadet Captain. Perhaps you can reenact the Par-4 arrival into BKK. “Landing—arrhhhh, no changing my mind, Going Around, arrrrr, changing my mind….Landing…..ahhhh, no changing it again…going around….opppps Stopping! Incase your limited IQ deludes you from the point, "People in glass house!"
Can someone tell me why the QF 747 fleet is full of wankers and the rest of the guys are OK? Is there some course for this when you go on the Jumbo? Seriously? KEG Perhaps you know?

Sorry BA50, I'm taking the 'fifth' on that one. I'm too well known to do myself in by answering that one! (I'm also far too lazy to bother with registering another handle so that I could give you an honest opinion! )

Away from the bitching for a moment, heard two within 5 minutes today:
"Melbourne Centre, Freedom XXX maintaining flight level 340, lollies".
and,
"Melbourne Centre, New Zealand XX cleared flight level 210, maintaining flight level 390, backscratch".
They were both kiwis, too. Maybe they know how to relax over there!

And at Essendon a few days back: From EN tower to lightie "XYZ - I wonder if you mind recycling your transponder, please thanks - we are not getting it here". Pretty verbose transmission, that. How about just "XYZ -recycle transponder?
The Seminole from Moorabbin lands and checks in to EN ground with "WYV received Delta request taxy clearnce to hangar 123"
ATC come back in a puzzled voice after hearing the received Delta bit, and say "Are you taxying for a take off, or to hangar123?
Reply from Seminole" Received Delta for hangar 123"
Do flying schools need to get their radio procedures training in order, or what?

Knew a bloke many years ago who once said over a few refreshing ales that he would have loved to hear a reply to a
'request clearance' go....
''request denied! hmmpff!!"
in a Colonel Klink voice.
You only live twice. Once when
you're born. Once when
you've looked death in the face.

A mate of mine in who was an RAAF ATC gave me a clearance once and it went something like this "ABC cleared to XYZ planned route, maintain 6000, squawk 1234, Taxi for Rwy 01, Line up, Cleared for takeoff, contact Brisbane Centre 120.55, G'day my cats breath smells like cat food" It was a quiet day up North.

Time spent thinking up such nonsense is time not spent monitoring the aircraft (Thank goodness for EGPWS).
Pilots are:
White collar workers?
Blue collar workers?
Rednecks?
Nonsense is usually spoken by morons.

Flying at BK some time ago I heard the following:
TWR: "ABC, no need to acknowledge, cleared touch and go"
ABC: "No need to acknowledge, ABC"
TWR: "ABC, no need to acknowledge, cleared touch and go"
ABC: "No need to acknowledge, ABC"
