Actually, it's because all Air Traffic Control people are required by law to be named 'Roger' (see ATC Act of 1952, section 3.2). And they're not saying 'copy that'. They're saying 'Copy Cat'. Pilots are very sensitive and catty people and they frequently name-call each other when they perceive that their ideas are being stolen.

Ha-ha, an incredible question certainly. I even have been following my expensive pal Banjaran and lots of others’ Questions in Y!A for many months now having comparable slant. i concept it somewhat is me basically who could locate it somewhat a chortle while her Qs start up with "spiritually speaking". I had the impact that in the process India many stuff are tied up with faith and spirits and such supernatural phenomenon. So, "spiritually speaking" would recommend that the Asker is calling for answer in that medium or spirit the place intent thinking gets lower back-bench, unsure inspite of the shown fact that. i think of via including the adjective of "spiritually speaking" he/she is aiming for solutions coming from ethical, emotional, or psychological natured persons. And the respond would additionally be in line with utopian (imagined suited place or state of issues) recommendations; not coming from rudimentary (below more suitable recommendations) concept technique desire above could suffice!

You're asking the wrong question, but I think it's because okay is too often used. He/she might be saying okay to getting a cup of coffee from the flight crew.

It prevents miscommunication. For example, "okay" could be heard by somebody with poorer hearing, and interpreted as "mayday", whereas "roger" most likely wouldn't be interpreted as such.

Because O.K. doesn't come out well over a radio and could be confusing. This is why they also use phonetic alphabet when giving out letters. Police and soldiers do it too.
