Jay,

The ATIS doesn't
count as "their numbers"; the weight and balance info does.

True enough.

FWIW, I was always taught to indicate I had the ATIS with, for example,
"Ellington Tower, Zodiac five five Zulu Charlie, inbound from the southeast
for landing with Foxtrot." "I have the numbers" is not sufficiently precise:
it doesn't tell them *which* numbers you have, and if the ATIS changes, they
need to know if you got the right ones.

Agreed.
