I also hate it when people say "repeat". Should be "Say Again".

You need to have had a bolocking on radio course in the army to understand.

Also hate "double" whatever.

75580

Seven double five eight oh, AARRRRGGHH

Seven five five eight zero.

Agreed. A lot of Indian and Asian pilots use the "Oh" instead of "zero" like;
"KOREAN322 turn right to heading three five zero, climb to and maintain flight level one two zero" and is answered with "KOOWEAN fwee two two turning wight fwee figh oh and kwimbing to wevvel one two oh".

That was one of the decipherable ones. You should hear the Indian guys.

Air Vietnam is funny too. A few months ago we were holding short and they were taxiing down to line up for runway 16 but there was traffic, lot's of it. Several commuter and domestic aircraft were already at various holding points, lots of AC's lined up for arrival so Air Vietnam called to try to expedite their departure. After getting an instruction of being number 7 or 8 (up to 30 minutes delay) they acknowledged the instruction verbatim in reasonable english. Then straight after finishing their call, from what could only have been an open mic in the 777 cockpit everyone heard an unidentified voice say "Nnngat Moo-shi". That's not a vietnamese word, that is actually two english words so sound it out. They were asked by the tower "that aircraft say again" and they got back a "sowwy, not forw you".

Atleast with Emirates, they're all Aussie pilots.
