"With you"

[SWA Bubba]

Come on guys. You're on guard!

I think you meant "Air Force common."

[Abernathy]

I haven't heard "with you" in years...

 

[FO4life]

"300 for 350"

" with you", in Rugby means I am supporting you, and I am in position to receive the oblong ball.

mkingmei,
Agreed that beginning a transmission with "and" is just wrong. "And tower, English-Impaired 465 checkin in........" Can't stand it.

Go fly somewhere other than the US for a while, you'll cringe at how bad the radio verbage/slang is in the US when you return...

Someone please explain to me why these words get a bad rap.

Because there are some terribly anal pilots out there who can't stand non-standard phraseology...

Not that it's in my typical verbiage either, but really... who gives a flying f***? People like that are miserable to fly with. Kind of like the guy who comes on board and says during his intro briefing "I'm pretty standard", which means you'd better watch him or her like a hawk... That's a long 4-day.

I tend to find that the people that are most anal about the radio verbiage are some of the least standard pilots out there.

Someone please explain to me why these words get a bad rap.

The bad rap comes from our CEO.

"We're doing this [merger] with you or without you."
