PDC's are the clearnace delivery guys wet dream. I remember when they paid an ATA GS-7 for the clearnace position at LAX. It was rumored to be the hardest position to check out on at LAX tower.

I've sometimes had a hard time getting a PDC, too, and don't really understand what goes on behind the scenes. Does local ATC have to "execute" each PDC before it comes up on ACARS? Does a live person have to look at it and approve it before we heave the sigh of relief that "we got the clearance on PDC".

Oh...wait.....I'm a Capt now, it ain't my problem....hehe
