I've asked two and got different answers.
I think the one with some ATC experience from a LONG time ago might not have the most *recent* answer, so I've asked the co-worker with recent ATC experience to contribute to the thread. He agrees with EasternATC and nfn, but has some additional explanation to pass on that I hope will add to the conversation too. Hopefully we'll see him on someday today so check back for the latest updates!
