hi..
well, yes ..
I suppose , to be picky ..
when it's in the upper altitudes..
it's called 'flight level 39' I believe ..
is that correct ?
In any case that would have to be ASL and not AGL.

oh I get it ..
you are refering to eastbound is even #'s and west bound it's odd ..( or the
other way around ) .
that wasn't clear at first.
