Last week the guy I flew with sounded like Bruce Jenner (the new, improved version).

On one of your posts on APC, you indicated that you are a member of the LBGT community - (is that why you hate cowboy boots?) so it must've been a lot of fun for you to fly him/her/it. We don't need any details of your extracurricular activities.
 
I flew with a guy who, every time ATC had a clearance to us would add "..., we can do that".

Another guy would often add "no problem" as if changing frequencies might be one.

Another guy adds "..., airborne...." on his initial call to Departure control out of busy airports like DTW or ATL.

Another adds "checking in" when contacting ATC as if the controller doesn't know, which almost ranks right up with "....with you" which the controller certainly does not need to be told and is the most useless, redundant, stupid waste of words and time in aviation radio.

One day those annoyances will be eliminated with the complete integration of digital clearances. It's in its infancy now, but given the speed and competency with which the FAA advances new technologies, the future of a no voice clearance aviation cockpit will soon be here with nary a nuance or waste of words to be found!

They will be replaced by digital annoyances like OMG and LOL. :rolleyes:

You're right. Not to mention all the emoticons!!

Mess up a clearance and get one of these..... :angryfire
Catch an ATC mistake and get one of these..... :beer:

Man, the system is going to need a lot of bandwidth for this stuff!
