Default OTA -- a new twist to "call me when you land"

I heard a bizarre interaction this evening (about 8:00, on 126.4, near
White Plains, NY). The conversation went something like this:

Pilot: OK, tell you what, give me a phone number where I can call you after
I land.


Sometimes a call is just a call. It's a better way to work something
out than lengthy time on the air.

I've been asked to call the tower when I land (because they wanted to
know more about Angel Flight), and I've asked for a number to call when
I land (once because a controller was upset with me for letting the
wind "blow me off course" when I was assigned "fly runway heading," and
once to thank them more specifically with a Lifeguard flight where
their help saved a life). None of these were "administrative" - just
friendly calls.
