What really gives me the sh!ts is the number of RPT that call my sector from Departures on climb with the following;
"XXX centre, XXX123 on climb to F180." "XXX123, XXX centre, climb to FL390."(
Planned level) Long pause...."Aaaggghhh, uummm, centre, request FL370."
I can appreciate that this is going to happen from time to time but it's starting to become the norm rather than the exception Down Under.
All good and well when it's quiet but a little frustrating when the frequencies are busy.
Cheers.
