Ha ha! So true! Flying the redeye from SEA to JFK the other night and we hear this....
JetBlue: Salt Lake Center JetBlue XXX.
SLC Center: JetBlue XXX, Salt Lake Center go ahead.
JetBlue: We see that WX up ahead. How have most been deviating around that?
SLC Center: Most have been going south of it.
JetBlue: Soooooooo.......then maybe about a 130 heading......or direct XYZ? Do you think that'll work?
I already told my CA my plan to go around the WX before this. After hearing this he said "I really don't care how you go just as long as you don't ask ATC what to do."
