I'm sure many have of you noticed the departures in the FMC containing ---/5000B apparently this is a result of ATC requesting it.
Now this appears like the tail wagging the dog as usual so could everyone please add "confirm unrestricted" when cleared to 7000/9000 etc as the airwaves in HK could always do with more chat
Oh and ATC could you please remind us 30sec after we've been cleared to 7000 to "maintain 7000" and also after we've been cleared to 9000 I'd like to hear it again, actually could you do it all the way to the FIR it's really helpful.
