How? ATC hadn't responded to you. that is not 2-way
communication. If ATC doesn't respond, what do YOU do? violate their
airspace? I know what knowledgable pilots will do, but what would YOU
do? (watch your answer here. it's the difference between getting your
pilot's license suspended, and doing the right thing.)


Here's the exchange again:

"ME Jackson Approach (JAN) Sundowner 1234L out of Madison, climbing through
500, headed to Covington LA. (Note the three W's)."

"JAN Sundowner 1234L, squawk 0103, altimeter 29.89."

Jackson approach responded to the pilot's transmission with his callsign,
two-way radio communications have been established.



Once again, they hadn't. And if they don't respond, again, what
would you do?


Well, once again, they had.



Clearances must be read back. Just like receiving your
clearance from delivery.


Please cite the general requirement for clearances to be read back.



Once again, the 7110.65P supports what ATC will say, and expect
to be heard back. Read it. Then read it again.


I have read it, many times. You'll likely never encounter anyone more
familiar with it than I. It does NOT use the phrase you quoted.



If you don't change yours, your stubborness will gift you with
a request to call the TRACON facility handling you regarding the
concept of communications and readbacks.


That is extremely unlikely, but if it ever does happen, then they will be a
bit more knowledgeable about ATC after the call.
