'you are next' as in I am going next right after they guy goes. Or 'you are next' as in go now because its your turn.

  We've already been through several disasters based on misunderstandings about whether or not a pilot was cleared for takeoff. That's why they explicitly use "cleared for takeoff" and if you hear anything other than that, you are not cleared for takeoff It should be painfully obvious, given how often towers give sequence numbers, that "you're next" does not mean "you can go" or cleared for takeoff given that runways are used for dual operation takeoff and landing all the time I wonder if this was a language situation, along with a pilot that is not used to operating at a large commercial airport (the coast guard) and maybe even some differences the Japanese coast guard/military writ large might have vs. civilian practices

  There should be some explicit non-idiomatic variation of "you're on deck", since "you are next" is ambiguous.
