mystified controller:
"um xx123 climb niner thousand feet"
Umm, maybe he had traffic? I thought this was a joke thread
I guess the joke was on the pilot requesting either a) immediate climb to filed level, or b) another level as final.
FL410 is like 4 sectors (coordinations) away, and even w/o other traffic that coordination is completely unnecessary/too bothersome to effect.
