Hmmm. That's news to me. Don't know Fran. I'm sure she gets the "Underhill" jokes all the time.

You don't know a John Cocktostin, do you?

If I remember correctly, ATC services are first come, first serve. If you are a C172 or a C152 and you are going to get to the fix before a LJ and they ask for best forward speed due to spacing you have the right to say "unable". Probably the most under utilized word in aviation.
