Wouldn't AWE1549 need to request clearance into the Hudson before ATC can authorize? They'd probably have received a, "Roger AWE1549, standby, clearance is on request" as a response. Besides that I'm not sure ATC controls the airspace in the Hudson so they probably couldn't have cleared AWE1549 as requested. wink
