I stumbled across these videos http://youtu.be/Uf0TdeIaMG4 and the CFII says when making initial contact to call the controller with your call sign and then wait for them to acknowledge you before asking for dep. clearance. I was taught this is a waste of the controller's time and just make the call asking for dep clearance on the initial.
Thoughts? Opinions?
