Try that on an Oceanic Clearance (ICAO) - you are cleared as filed with an altitiude change right on your Flight Plan - you never - never - never - change altitude (lets hear from the NAT track folks) without further cleraance from ATC - (unless you loose comm - wherein you stay at the highest altitude) - so what is different about Brazil?

Standing by for a reply -
