Cmon now, you must not be in the US..
Atlanta is in the South, Seattle is in the North.

In the South, when you call ATC for CDA, its, "slide down the banister to runway 34L"
In the North, when you call ATC for CDA, its "use the smooth glide to RW 34L"

This was great, "Marek said once that's successfully done, the FAA will proclaim the new arrival routes and approaches usable"

See, this is how we do it here in the States, with royal pomp and circumcision, the FAA will proclaim a procedure usable for its subjects, for its LOYAL subjects.
