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.


I must not have gotten the memo. What I do remember about the period was while
the controllers could be sarcastic and surly shortly before the strike, they
sure became friendly and cooperative afterwards.
