Overheard over South Carolina, with the busy Atlanta arrivals streaming overhead:
Delta 1234: “Center, Delta 1234 flight level 230.”
Atlanta Center: “Delta 1234, welcome. Cross OZZI at 12,000 and 250 knots.”
Delta 1234: “Cross OZZI at 12,000 and 250 knots. And what runway can we expect?”
Atlanta Center: “You’ll have to ask Approach on the next frequency. That’s above my pay grade … even though I actually make quite a lot more than they do.”
Unknown airplane: “So it happens to you, too?”
