Good morning all! This is my first post here and I look forward to interacting with many of you.
I wanted to start this thread to highlight a strange "blanket Bravo clearance" that I heard on frequency a couple weeks ago. The controller stated "Attention all aircraft that are going into Addison, you can just assume at this point that you are cleared into bravo airspace".
I had already been cleared into Bravo personally (flying VFR obviously), so this approach controller's instruction was for others. I know I would have asked for a specific clearance had I not already had one, but I wanted to get everybody's thoughts on this. Specifically:
1) Is this a valid instruction?
2) Would you accept it or ask for your own personal clearance?
3) Have you ever received or heard a similar "blanket" clearance?
The actual audio is at the 12:19 mark at the link below:

Appreciate your input!
