So you're speaking almost exclusively about towers? That I can see. If
the ATIS is good, no need for the altimeter setting. Other than towers,
you should almost always be getting a setting on initial contact.

Uh .... Just where do you fly that has an ATIS and *doesn't* have a tower?

Above, I said "other than towers". I've corrected the ambiguity of my
initial statement. Again:

"Other than towers, you should almost always be getting a setting on
initial contact."

Do you only talk to towers? Possible. But tricky in some places. Anyway,
are you saying you almost always stay below Class Bravo? Another post
indicated you don't. So what are you talking about?
