Narrative:
Potential confusion for routing going to atl. The last portion of the flight plan was mei direct lgs thence lgc 1 arrival to atl. The potential confusion is that there is an mei transition for the lgc 1 arrival. Looking at the lgc 1, one of these days the controller is going to think we are on the transition when we are actually going direct to lgc. Granted it's a small point, but nonetheless an area of confusion.
