If we have any doubts, the individually filed plans are input with RVU = status unknown, so that's when we ask the question and we would expect an instant reply just like asking your minima etc, the pilot should know his status regarding RVSM.
The stored flight plans generally seem to be OK, however......
One point I would like to add is that if there is a late aircraft type change there can be the situation where the type is changed OK but the RVSM status remains the same as on the original plan regardless of the replacement type's status, everyone beware....
