I've done it at our non towered out stations in the ATL systems many a times. It's legal both per the FAR's and company op specs and much faster than waiting around on the phone, GCO, or through the crappy ground freqs for approach and center. Same thing up north in CLE heck most of the time that was the fastest and easiest way to make CRP up there.
Besides...we gettin' paid by the minute dawg! Might as well be safe and thorough by the minute as well.
That long climb before anyone calls you back is the longest 5 minutes ever.
Also Y U NO respond to my texts dawg?

The recent ops bulletin does not address departures under vfr only arrivals. In PIB this is an issue at times getting a clearance departing to the South. It's a non event getting it in the air I've done it with check airman but you all can do whatever you want.
