Listening to ATC.


I have never, ever heard such nonsense instructions.


Maybe you should listen to more ATC.


Here is how it would be done professionally:

"United 123 turn left heading 225, cleared for takeoff."


Next time I hear ATC do it "unprofessionally," I'll be sure to write
them a strongly-worded letter communicating your disapproval. That'll
whip them into shape.


Atta boy.
