Erroneously mentioned that flight levels above 410 were every 4000 feet before RVSM. Shame on me; I should have known better.

As the plane burns off fuel and gets lighter, it can climb higher and it is more efficient if it does. So the filed altitude is not actually valid for the whole flight. That's likely why the controller often ask (well, if they don't, the pilot will). | |
