OK, don't slam me here, because I am really just asking to try to understand. Why is it that airline pilots (not all, probably just a few) are so impatient on the radio? For example, "Atlanta Center Nxxxxx checking in at 8,000." Three second pause then, "Atlanta Center (Airline of your choice)579 out of FL190 climbing FL230." Also, I quite often hear on initial check on if there is no response from the control fairly quickly (10 seconds max, usually just a couple) that you try again. Just kind of curious more than anything. Is it in the FOM that you guys have to establish radio contact ASAP. I realize you go fast, but does 5-10 extra seconds really matter?
Don't go getting all defensive, it really is no big deal. As I said, just curious. If the controller is too busy for me, that is no problem.
