Do not say, "request clearance as filed." We assume you've filed a flight plan, so it's redundant. While it's technically possible to pick up IFR clearances in Socal within the TEC route system without filing, requests for that are usually made as "request tower enroute to the [desti...

Hey Keith! Thanks again as always for a great reply to my question. There must be something being done right in this very issue/topic's realm if I, not being told any of this directly, was kind of able to infer it :) [Cut out a long personal story reflecting my own learning on PE, as it was... too l...

I couldn't really fit the question into the subject , sorry! How do PE controllers think or feel about pilots like myself, who still have a fairly good deal left to learn (not that we ever stop learning as the cliche kind of goes) flying airliners?

Well, for some reason I missed a call for a frequency change from I think Seattle center (sorry I'm from east coast, cou...
