(Wien Delivery does not need to say initial climb altitude - it's in the charts. 90% of all aircraft ask or mess it up, so you might as well say it right away. If Wien Delivery is very busy, then the clearance comes down to:

ATC: Austrian 251, Delivery, cleared München SITNI4C, squawk 4600, Info A.

On very busy events (like Finally Austria), Wien Delivery can put in his/her ATIS line:

Wien Delivery: Report ready for clearance callsign-only

Then the pilots know that they report with:

AUA251: Delivery, AUA251
