STAR's and SID's

I bet if you divided the "I always get a STAR" and "I never

is in the typical enroute altitudes flown...

In my case, I've been 10,000 every time. Here's how it would happen:
I'd file direct from BFM to EYQ in Houston. About halfway across
Beaumont, TX's airspace, I'd get an amended clearane to my destination
via direct Sabine, Trinity 1 arrival. It got to be so predictable that I
would file direct Sabine, direct EYQ because I knew I'd be going via
Sabine anyway.

When I started going to HOU instead of EYQ, I could file the whole STAR
because HOU is on the STAR plate (EYQ isn't). That worked a couple of
times, but the last two times they amended that. No more STAR, now, just
pieces of it.
