Narrative:

While requesting an altitude in the mid thirties for return to base, while squawking emergency, I used the term 'angels' instead of 'flight level.' this led to confusion because the controller was new and unfamiliar with that term. During the climb, my wingman and I saw and radar locked an airliner in our flight path. Before everything was sorted out, we cleared the airliner by about 1200 ft. During a telephone debrief with ZOB supervisor, I was informed no action would be taken and asked to facsimile a copy of our radio terms for future reference.

Title: POTENTIAL CONFLICT BTWN MIL FGT AND ACR MLG DURING MIL SPILLOUT OF MOA.

Narrative: WHILE REQUESTING AN ALT IN THE MID THIRTIES FOR RETURN TO BASE, WHILE SQUAWKING EMER, I USED THE TERM 'ANGELS' INSTEAD OF 'FLT LEVEL.' THIS LED TO CONFUSION BECAUSE THE CTLR WAS NEW AND UNFAMILIAR WITH THAT TERM. DURING THE CLB, MY WINGMAN AND I SAW AND RADAR LOCKED AN AIRLINER IN OUR FLT PATH. BEFORE EVERYTHING WAS SORTED OUT, WE CLRED THE AIRLINER BY ABOUT 1200 FT. DURING A TELEPHONE DEBRIEF WITH ZOB SUPVR, I WAS INFORMED NO ACTION WOULD BE TAKEN AND ASKED TO FAX A COPY OF OUR RADIO TERMS FOR FUTURE REF.
