One of the things I've never found an explanation for is the voice these guys use on the radio. Where did it come from?
The 'airline pilot' voice we all use these days comes from Chuck Yeager, and everyone trying to sound cool, but these guys sound always sound like they're telephoning the front desk.

- hackerbabz 8y agoI've heard that that is apocryphal. The airline pilot drawl was a consequence of early voice activated microphones. They would stretch out the first syllable to wait for the mic to turn on. I do not know if this is true.
