Code:
PLEASE why not just say "Startrek 1234 Request Flight Level XXX" - why all this REQUEST etc which takes up a load more air time?
I think its because that's how it is depicted in the CAP.....XYZ request..,
thus suggesting that it is an initial request to be followed up by the detail.
I agree with you that it it is much more concise to get the request done in one transmission.
