Thank you...... I think it is so funny that CLE has all these stupid things for an airport that gets about as much traffic as a moderate sized class C airport at best. I fly into and out of BKL all the time and they treat CLE airspace like the holy grail. Heck the other night CLE approach gave a Lifeguard flight a vector around CLE airspace while going into BKL.
Its the same bravo-sierra dispatching flights into/out of there too. I know of at least one or two calls CLE made to our SOC about routes we filed back when I was on that side of things.
Not bashing any controller, obviously, but its very noticeable.
Just to add to what others have said, those ball flag notes for higher intercepts are not the legit FAFs.
