Narrative:

I fly for a commuter airline that uses center stored flight plan. Our flight releases show altitude and route of flight and are carried on each flight. I occasionally find that the clearance issuing facility and the subsequent artccs do not have the same routing. No conflict or problem occurred on this day, but ZOB had routing as: sum, crl, djb, U-30 aco v- 337 cutta, pit. My release had routing as: sum crl aco v- 337 cutta pit. A full route clearance for each flight might solve this problem and then again it might not if the problem is ATC internal. I have addressed this problem with my company and there does not seem to be a reason or fix. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporting pilot, a line check airman, does not understand why there should be any confusion between what the company has filed and the routing that he gets when he calls for his clearance. Sometimes there are 3 or 4 clrncs and re-routings depending on the time of day and the traffic situation. He is concerned with the routing that he would have to fly if there were a complete loss of communication and a possible conflict and violation situation when he strikes out on an incorrect routing. His company has tried to fix the situation with no luck.

Title: AN ACR LTT PLT STATES THAT HE IS OFTEN EXPECTED TO FLY A ROUTING THAT DIFFERS FROM THE CTR STORED RTING THAT HIS COMPANY GIVES HIM WITH HIS PAPERWORK.

Narrative: I FLY FOR A COMMUTER AIRLINE THAT USES CTR STORED FLT PLAN. OUR FLT RELEASES SHOW ALT AND RTE OF FLT AND ARE CARRIED ON EACH FLT. I OCCASIONALLY FIND THAT THE CLRNC ISSUING FACILITY AND THE SUBSEQUENT ARTCCS DO NOT HAVE THE SAME ROUTING. NO CONFLICT OR PROB OCCURRED ON THIS DAY, BUT ZOB HAD ROUTING AS: SUM, CRL, DJB, U-30 ACO V- 337 CUTTA, PIT. MY RELEASE HAD ROUTING AS: SUM CRL ACO V- 337 CUTTA PIT. A FULL RTE CLRNC FOR EACH FLT MIGHT SOLVE THIS PROB AND THEN AGAIN IT MIGHT NOT IF THE PROB IS ATC INTERNAL. I HAVE ADDRESSED THIS PROB WITH MY COMPANY AND THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE A REASON OR FIX. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: THE RPTING PLT, A LINE CHK AIRMAN, DOES NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THERE SHOULD BE ANY CONFUSION BTWN WHAT THE COMPANY HAS FILED AND THE ROUTING THAT HE GETS WHEN HE CALLS FOR HIS CLRNC. SOMETIMES THERE ARE 3 OR 4 CLRNCS AND RE-ROUTINGS DEPENDING ON THE TIME OF DAY AND THE TFC SIT. HE IS CONCERNED WITH THE ROUTING THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO FLY IF THERE WERE A COMPLETE LOSS OF COM AND A POSSIBLE CONFLICT AND VIOLATION SIT WHEN HE STRIKES OUT ON AN INCORRECT RTING. HIS COMPANY HAS TRIED TO FIX THE SIT WITH NO LUCK.
