Same thing up north in CLE heck most of the time that was the fastest and easiest way to make CRP up there.
You've blocked out...if it takes an extra 90 seconds to call center/approach/FSS/Your Grandmama/whatever just take a deep breath and do it. At least that's my motto but I'm coming from prior 121 where we could never do the "Bahama thing."
Besides...we gettin' paid by the minute dawg! Might as well be safe and thorough by the minute as well.
