Msg ID: 2806546 pilot cant stop talking on radio +16/-2

Guess I am old and grumpy but man some of these pilots and their constant talking on the radio. Non of it is safety related and most of it is pure stupidity. Calling approach with their ID, then calling again with their request, then repeating the reply, then calling to say they recieved the reply from approach again. Brevity pilots, what happened to brevity and limiting calls to those required/needed? Lack of knowledge and basic pilot skills

You don't understand that most "younger" pilots have the mentality that they are the most important person and the center of everyone's world....it's the way their parents raised them sad to say.

Sadly, I agree.   Maybe they just don't know any better. Should, at this level...

EMS pilots routinely abuse this. They are so bored out of their minds they make calls 20nm out from a hospital. Sometimes further out. Even though nobody cares and it isn't interesting to anyone, they still do it. The other night i heard a 50 nm call. Get a job.

I've often called 50 miles out (25 minutes out) to ensure there's plenty of time for them to get that done!

Maybe... Just maybe, and hear me out here. They are aware there is another helicopter coming in or going out and they are trying to make calls to spur them into making a call so they can coordinate?
