I understand why you would start a call like that, but it does not provide them any information. All it does is tell them "I expect you to call me back if the call drops".
But that shouldn't be necessary.
If the call drops before they even pull up the PNR, I don't care if they call me back. I can call again.
If it drops after that, then I don't want to deal with a new agent, and I want a callback.
