Good advice. However, it's not always practical. As I learned early on in
my

I've had plently of flights where my initial clearance didn't even
remotely
resemble what I filed, and what I actually ended up flying didn't exactly
match the initial clearance.

If I made it from Boston to White Plains without getting re-routed at least
once I'd expect to see locusts, four horsemen, and dogs and cats living
together when I landed. You file the preferred routes, they clear you
somewhere else, and up in the air they change their minds again often more
than once in the flight.
