Another thing
you're logic is twisted. I standby my statement that I don't ask for directs more than once. Nowhere do I contradict that. Asking why (which I have only done in this recent period) does neither constitute another request nor an argument.
which states you have challenged answers... so you don't ask twice, you just argue on R/T (professional) if you don't get one?
Ridiculous! How is that an argument?

Why are you getting wound up by flying your flight planned route and burning the amount of fuel that you are supposed to burn? I really don't get that. You shouldn't be expecting short cuts. Do you carry less fuel than you should because you are expecting to get sent direct?
The amount of fuel I am supposed to burn? Supposed as directed by who? I actually have a duty to burn as little fuel as necessary, that's what I am supposed to do....... Do you guys not have a duty to be as efficient as possible? If not then its no wonder your distant relatives are behaving in this manner!
