Miko,

Tell me about it... I was watching a program on Discovery Wings over the weekend (about business jets) and the "feature flight" in whatever jet it was, was Gatwick to JFK. Anyhow, fairly early on in the flight (while they were still being vectored out of the LTA), an ATC/pilot-not-flying exchange went like this:

ATC: NCBAR, turn heading 245.
PNF: 245.

And that was it! No complaint from the controller, so it must be "safe" from a real-world standpoint, but I'm betting if I said something like that to either Conners or Gaz, they'd be quite sarcastic for a while!(No offence C... ;))

That seems to be the point - the difference between "us" and the professional ones is that they just use the radios and their dialogs to communicate and not for competition who knows all the rules ;)

I remember one video - it was on final to Teneriffa airport - and I heard on the radio a dialog like this:

ATC (Woman): XY123, you are cleared for direct ILS XY.
XY123: ("flirtish") Wow, lucky day, thats the way I like it.
ATC: Laughing

If you flirt with Conners I dont know what will happen ;D
