Heard over Oklahoma City approach frequency on a busy day:
Approach:
“American One Twenty-Three, descend pilot’s discretion. Maintain 6,000.”
American 123 [after a long pause] :
“Oak City, American One Twenty-Three. Did you call us?”
Approach:
“American One Twenty-Three, descend pilot’s discretion. Maintain 6,000.”
American 123:
“Say again.”
Approach [getting a bit hot] :
“American One Twenty-Three: Descend – and maintain – 6,000. Pilot’s discretion, co-pilot’s discretion – it really doesn’t matter to me!”
