Anyway, I'm assuming that "Jackpot 1243" wanted to move up and down
freely between 39,000 and 41,000 feet seeking smoothest ride and best
fuel economy without having to make repeated requests

Sounds like a "cruise clearance". Not sure why those words weren't used in
the request.

No, this is a block request. I ask for them a lot when flying over
mountains looking for a smooth ride. A cruise clearance is something
very different and you are probably not too likely to get it unless
you are out in the middle of nowhere.
