Line Checker: "You get too many ATISs"
Checkee: "But aren't they part of a fixed price data contract?"
Line Checker: "No. They are separate to that contract and we are charged for each one"
Checkee: "I didn't know that. How much does an ATIS cost?"
Line Checker: "10 US cents"
Checkee: " .............................. " Stunned silence.
Line Checker: "And you probably do use too much data as well"
Checkee: "But that is at a pre-paided, fixed price"
Line Checker: "Yes, but if we use too much, when the contract comes up for renewal, the price will go up."
Checkee: " ............................. , ...... interesting, ... let me write that down"
I now carry a $10USD bill in my pocket on line checks, to be passed to the checker, ... for 100 credits.
