Hi B767300ER,
VERY sorry about that, I didn't realize we cut in on anybody, we just joined the line as is the normal thing, as instructed!
We were 'WT851' bound for Lagos, via Dakar, about 10 hours worth.
Cheers
ps: 'Glueball' - we DID get an ATC clearance prior to pushback, that's what made the whole thing so curious!
Not only in the USA, but most other places, as well!
