My bold.
That's exactly the point I was making. Someone other than the pilots must have noticed that the aircraft wasn't at the correct altitude.
The pilots request the altitude..... (Flight Level to be more specific). ATC will give them that level if it is available. If they request FL240 I doubt ATC gives a monkeys why. So back to the films
