Default Re: United Triple nickel

Around where I work, I don't get much of the crap phraseology like all the above. Usually it's "Roger have him on TCAS" or "We're in cloud at the moment"

The only thing recent I can think of regarding an "odd" answer to phraseology was:

"American 255 how's you're ride at 390?"

"Ahh American 255.... smooth as a mashed potatah' sandwhich!"

It doesn't bother me when it's not busy, in fact I got a good laugh out of it, most pilots usually can tell when we're going balls to the wall and will keep transmissions short and concise which is very much appreicated.

Nothing is more frustrating when a pilot comes from a slower sector into one you're working 35+ airplanes and checks in with " Ahhh centre... goodayyy... this is ahhh Continental... two five six, er ah two five five, checking in at ahhhh flight level three ahhh five zero, how are ya"

How long does ATC Canada save the tapes and must I worry about describing female mechanical bull riding on Moncton?

Doug, did your wife ride on one of them?

About phraseology, because of my poor English annouciation, I have to use standard term almost every time. Especially, if I have not familiar myself with intersections, VORs, and/or fixs announciation.

The only joke I made - flying on X'mas day, Washington center informed us about VFR traffic close to our route and altitude.

My response - "I had him on TCAS, no visual contact. Maybe Santa is doing some late delivery. "
