Any Conflicting Traffic Please Advise

Post by ahramin »

If someone knows the guy doing WS4 on July 25th, please tell him that when making your radio calls during a contigency weather deviation procedure that it isn't necessary to say "Any conflicting traffic please advise". I'm sure they'll let you know.

While I might agree with you let me add it's totally classless to out someone on an online forum if you are not ready to out yourself.

Does a forum moderator need to out himself?

After over a half a century of flying no one ever died because of my decision not to fly.

I have no idea what you are talking about and I don't care Cat.

For the others I will say that any WJ crew can find the names of the crew with the info posted. Same as at my airline. And that's classless.

Whoever this guy was, I like him already. What a great game to play, say something enraging but ultimately harmless on the radio then see how long it takes to get posted to AvCan. Love it.

Can you believe someone would throw in some extra words into a traffic advisory like that? The gall!

On a somewhat related note: does anyone know if the Guard Police post their vacancies here on AvCanada? Asking for a friend.

atphat, my comment was to point out that Ahramin is a moderator on Avcanada and has been forever he does not need to out himself.

He is as easy to identify as that pilot he wrote the comment about.

I guess that means I'm classless then. Not sure I understand the problem. Care to explain?

Quite often we are a product of our environment. We often adapt what we see and hear from our peers/mentors out of a blind faith. A consequence is a few ass-hat calls that are frankly everywhere in this industry. You'll hear it in the terminals as much as in the sky;

"Last and final call." How about just saying "Last call... or Final call."

"Paging Mr. Jones, if you here your name please..." How about just saying "Paging Mr. Jones..." If poor Mr. Jones doesn't hear his name - the instructions are moot.

Sloppy but not a big deal. The "conflicting traffic" guy from the other day heard this and likely incorporated into his vernacular somewhere over the years. Sloppy but no biggie and not a determining factor in this person's competency. He's not the only one and he certainly wasn't the first.


Thanks for taking the time ahramin to shine so brightly for all of us to admire.

No he is right. These chucker should be shamed. It is is the only way they will stop. Comparing radio call to a PA announcement in the terminal does not make sense as one is highly congested and the other barely used.

Somewhere between Colombo and Perth. Middle of the night, on CPDLC, dead quiet on the radio for hours, until...

"Where arrrre you?"

.....long pause....

"Where AArrrrre you?

....long pause...

"Where ARRRRRRREEEEeeeee you?"

Voice in heavy Aussie accent (of course) "MATE, YER ON GUARD!"


.....

.....


"THERRRE you arrrre..."

Threads like this make me want to start practicing my barnyard animal noises again. Shame on y'all for provoking me. :mrgreen:

A well know Kelowna Flying Club is teaching their students to say it, the arseholes..

As if I might be tempted to ignore their position messages if they don't append the frivolous statement.

Listened to people arriving for a fly-in breakfast in Alberta a couple of years ago. A zillion aircraft calling their position and intentions every five miles. And each adding "Conflicting traffic... etc". Talk about a friggin' cluster-XXXX...

The one time I had a legitimate reason to use 121.5, the guard police were making it difficult to accomplish what was intended. It was quite obvious I was intending to use that frequency too.

I have always thought that using 121.5 to complain about the imbeciles that play around on 121.5 is counterproductive at best. If a frequency is reserved for emergencies, that goes for everyone. Guard police included.
