who started it??
Somewhere in Australia sits a tosser who first started out reporting that he "maintains" 5000 or whatever, satisfied in the knowledge that he left his mark on Australian aviation.
I recently heard a capt begin his PA with the words,"Good morning ladies and gentlemen, the captain speaks..."
Twas a pom, of course.
At least your Rat driver leaves the word "the" at the FIR boundary. Even he wouldn't fly around aussie referring to himself as 'the' Qantas ###...!!
Would he????

Finally!! I was starting to think it was only me that noticed this incorrect use of the English language. Pretty disappointing to hear a good majority of the regional RPT drivers adopting it as standard phraseology. I've always felt that R/T procedures are one of only a few ways fellow pilots can gauge my professionalism at work.

I'm a bit slow off the mark. At first I thought your poem was a desprate attempt at some humour
Then I twigged and thought it deserves a double thumbs up
.
I enjoyed it (after reading it ten odd times).

Bullwinkle still have a copy of 'Bound for Darnley' stored in a file somewhere or another.....!!?? Many fond memories sitting around a backyard in Horn having a bbq (usually for some pilot's going away do) and having a sing'along with Freaker.

Freaker was a classic.
I remember the first time I heard that song sung at the Big House........I swear, I wept, it was so funny.
I heard him mention that he'd make a CD of it one day..........I'd pay top dollar for that!

Apologies to Dire Straits (Money for Nothin)
Now look at them yo-yos that's the way you do it
You chase all those hours on the free
that ain't workin that's the way you do it
Flyin for nothin and more ICUS for me
If that ain't workin that's the way you do it
Lemme tell ya them pahlots aint't dumb
Maybe get a blister on my sms finger
Maybe bet a blister on my bum
We gotta install clapped out seats
Custom spewbag near your knees
We gotta move from the backpackers
We gotta move cause the hours aren't free
see the CASA guy with the sunnies and the clipboard
Yeah buddy he walks on air
That little rampcheck just grounded my airplane
Now I'm stuck in the middle of nowhere
We gotta install clapped out seats
Custom spewbag near your knees
We gotta move from the backpackers
We gotta move cause the hours aren't free
I shoulda learn't to dodge my hours
I shoulda learn't to avoid them scum
Look at that blowkie - she busted - put him in the hangar
Man we have nowhere to run
But I'm up there , what's that? Misfiring noises?
Bangin on regardless busting for a pee
That ain't workin that's the way you do it
Flyin for nuthin get your hours for a fee
We gotta install clapped out seats
Custom spewbag full at your knees
We gotta move from the backpackers
We gotta move cause the hours arn't free
Buy a new endorsement that's the way to do it
You play the field send out a new CV
That ain't workin that's the way you do it
Flyin for nuthin and more ICUS for me
Flyin for nuthin and wet season dear me
(It's been a slow day next to the bat phone)

If an area controller tells you to contact him on a different frequency (ie ABC contact me now on 123.4) and you change over, do you have to broadcast the frequency as well as the level maintaining?
ie Brisbane Centre ABC 123.4 maintaining FLXXX ? (bearing in mind that it is the same operator.)

Postscript to 200s
Congrats and full marks on starting this thread in the such a clever way. I don't think a subtle technique blends well into this age. Just noticed that you actually should have turns finals. That is what I was briefed when enduring a circuits brief (describing how to fly a circuit) as a student and during a rating renewal.
I hear finals a lot and I put it down to the captain of the spaceship lining up to land at one location however dreaming they are landing somewhere else in their Easterns dash.
No intent to deviates your threads around the weather.
Muffs (and only if there were).

As it is a requirement to readback a frequency, if you didn't respond prior to changing, which in my opinion is perfectly acceptable, then you would acknowledge the frequency change on the new frequency.
