I'm BHX based, and am very aware of the BHX issue with this, I along with many colleagues specifically add the issue to our brief on a low pressure day. Additionally as a pre take-off review we empahsise as a reminder that we are climbing to FLIGHT LEVEL 60.

However, I know BHX has suffered from several 'busts' so, if the additional ATIS message helps stop this, then I'm happy for it to be there.

If in the fulness of time it is shown that the message has had no effect on the number of 'busts' then it's appropriateness can be reviewed.

It would be nice if it was always the 'last' message on the ATIS. Inbounds then can at least disregard listening to the last element as a time saving exercise.
