Vaguely GA as we have some erudite ATCers on the Forum.
Having just come back to airways style aviation after an 18 month 'retirement', I am astonished at the generally poor quality of English spoken and misunderstood on the radio by airliners.
Mainly from low cost operators with varied crew make ups.
It seems to take up a lot of air time and I feel vaguely embarrassed for the controllers having to spell out waypoints or instructions constantly.
Or am I just getting terminally old and intolerant
