The aircraft called ground control when he was done with his runup and
said he was ready for the clearance. GC read him the clearance and then
gave the strip to the data man for the release.


Hmmm..., previously you said the clearance wouldn't be issued until the
aircraft was ready to go.



Every clearance was as filed. Always. There's nothing to digest if you
flight planned properly.


Nobody ever filed an unacceptable route? That seems VERY unlikely.
