The interesting thing is BHM's comment that I "...should have asked
Montgomery for that one." How was I to know that? BHM is named on plates as
the approach facility for EET. There's no ATIS at EET. What should I have
done to find out that BHM couldn't give me the RNAV 33 approach?

No, I don't think so. I tried that once flying down to LA (actually
John Wayne/Orange Cty), thinking that it would be nice to get a
certain approach since I felt I was quite close, but they didn't care
for it. Little did I know I was going to be vectored around and handed
over three more times within the LA sector, so there was no way to
know when to request a certain approach. It was IMC at that time, and
considering the volume of traffic at Orange Cty it would have been
moot anyway.
