let you know that we would be staying with ya a couple of days.
(who freaking cares!)
Roger SuperFast Jet N66666 we'll keep the light on.
then a few minutes later it starts all over again with at 20 miles out or 10
miles out with Any traffic please watch out, or requests for phone calls, do
you have a crew car, ect....
Hello? you're gonna land in 3 freaking minutes! Please hold your questions
at least as long as you can hold your bladder! You could have made a phone
call before you took off!
Our local CTAF is 122.7 and there is another airport over 100 miles away
also using 122.7 but has a lot of corporate jet traffic. The jet guys at
that airport are pitiful. They start calling the FBO from ridiculous
distances and altitudes with the dumbest comments and requests. Many
absolutely do not matter. Is so and so working the desk? Great, I really
like her.... What's for dinner? We won't need any fuel, we'll catch it
tomorrow.
It all leaves a very bad impression upon a student that's trying to get
comfortable with what he IS supposed to say.
