Default Putting the "P" in piloting

One of the nuisance elements of the lil red bottle is that ATC always
"knows" when it's in use. You can be cruising for half an hour
without a peep on the radio, and the minute you get hooked up and let
go, you get this call: "Arrow 87Xray, we have an amended clearance
for you; are you ready to copy?"

"Ummmm, Arrow 87Xray, stand by"


"ATC, negative on the amendment, we're fine with our current flight plan."
