In a previous article, "Chris" said:
Heard on London Airways today, NorthWest 43 called up at 'nine thousand feet
climbing to one five thousand feet' the controller ever the diplomat asked
'northwest 43 can you confirm you are climbing to Flight level 150?' 'Affirm
came the reply'
mind you he was in some cruddy old DC-10 so he was probably busy trying to
keep it in the air.

Plus he's probably an American, so he's used to flight levels starting at
FL180.
