Default Air taxi vs. Charter or Part 135

According to the AIM...

Pilots operating under provisions of 14 CFR Part 135 and not having an
FAA assigned 3-letter designator, are urged to prefix the normal
registration (N) number with the letter "T" on flight plan filing; e.g.,
TN1234B.

But lots of folks never do it.



There was a time right after the controller strike that the FAA
gave preference to airlines and 135 operators. People heavily
used TANGO-NOVEMBER to make sure they got their precedence.


We don't call out the NOVEMBER when we call out on the radio. So I have a
question. Is Tango-November said when using the prefix or is it just a
flight plan thing?
