You're just trolling, now.


Never.



The pilots in the pattern and on the tarmac. Duh.


So it's strictly a matter of choice then, it's not "standard".



Yes, and to the second, no. Not in this particular instance.


Why not in this particular instance?



BECAUSE I HAVE NO BLOODY ****ING IDEA WHERE HE IS OR
WHERE HE'S GOING.


SO WHAT? IT'S ASSUMED THAT SINCE HE DEPARTED AFTER YOU HE KNOWS WHERE YOU
ARE AND IS PROPERLY AVOIDING YOU. IF YOU TURN CROSSWIND AND HE STAYS UPWIND
YOU'RE DIVERGING. DIVERGING TRAFFIC IS NOT A FACTOR.



Acknowledging a report involves making your own report, ergo someone could
have figured out where he is.


No, acknowledging a report involves just making receipt known. By itself
it's just unnecessary chatter.



Because after departing crosswind and climbing south, most traffic leaves
by turning back north and following a radial along the mountain ridge.
Now, they have non-announcing traffic from an unexpected direction, flying
much faster than they do.


But by then above the pattern and thus not a factor. You seem rather new to
the flying game. Student?




If you have to ask, you haven't used one.


I have to ask because it's not standard terminology.



No, you ask questions like a two-year-old asks "Why"; to annoy and
frustrate.


You're wrong. Believe me, I am the worlds foremost authority on why I do
anything.



You accosted him and then used ad hominem attacks on his intelligence and
piloting skill.


You might want to look up those terms.

I attacked nobody's intelligence or piloting skill. I said Jay holds an
incorrect understanding of Class D airspace and ATC and he hold controllers
responsible for pilot's actions. His statements in this thread prove that
to be true.
