Guess who
XXX0000 departing from XXXX, RFL 260, but a quick look at their flight plan shows that the initial RFL was 360. To avoid flow restrictions the RFL was changed to FL260. They check in and inmediately request FL 360. Unable to approve. When they reach 260 another call. XXX0000 request FL 300 or 320 to avoid turbulence. No turbulence was reported before or after that in the whole sector. I believe you one day guys, maybe two, but bad weather every day? now the question is, what is the company name?

The correct response is obvious
Because you haven't booked this request online and you haven't printed a copy of the flight plan at home it will cost you:
Because you haven't booked this request online and you haven't printed a copy of the flight plan at home it will cost you:
- EUR 1000 for the requested flight level, and
- EUR 100 for not printing the flight plan
- Direct routing will cost EUR 100 for each saved NM

Dan air got away with almost everything because they were clever AND they took very good care of ATC both in liquid form ( BTW what happenned to the 3 horseshoes ?) and in helping controllers transportation problems!
If Bob Willis ( RIP) had been running Ryanair instead of MOL life would be great.
Chug a lug !

Dan Air were great except for one thing. Working at a regional airport that closed a notified time, Dan Air were always asking for opening extensions. The saying was that if we notamed the end of the world, Dan Air would ask for an extension. Happy days.

Chug a lug.
roger, direct ....
worked for me.
Had a great Christmas Party in Paris in mid 80s with some Danair lads and lasses when working at Bretigny.
Those were the days before shopping centres with a runway, before we became obsessed with paperwork and litigation; when we had a lot of fun got the job done and when everybody loved Dan Air!

Yes, it is indeed a shame you cannot get a 'plug-in humour' module for a 'puter. Maybe the 'Intelligent ATIS' of the future will be able to work out the DA is late and react appropriately.
