The SID's seem to work, when we have to use them, but haven't used a STAR yet.
Out of interest (I havent looked on a chart yet), leaving on a BADIM 1X dept cleared to FL 100, for example, what is the earliest level to be handed over to London? The reason I ask... we're cleared to FL100, approaching it we say "reaching FL100" at which point BRS ATC say "contact london on 1xx.xx". If we give a "passing FL70/80" for example will you hand us over to London sooner to help prevent leveling off whilst we try and get a word in?
