can you refuse to "speak" with a controller???

[blzr]

Brother, I hope you are kidding. We have by far the best controllers. If you got attitude, why not try to be extra nice to the controller,everyone is entitled to have a bad day. next time take a deep breath.

Yeah, you are not going to be with him/her for very long anyway. Everyone can have a bad day.

Everyone has their bad days, controllers and pilots. However, keep in mind that we work together and help each other out. Need to remember...pilot deviations happen a LOT MORE OFTEN than a controller actually breaks a reg (controller might be rude or tick off a pilot, but he isn't necessarily going against the .65). All day everyday pilots will miss crossing restrictions, blow a turn, bust out of a holding pattern, etc. Controllers RARELY report this to try and get the pilot violated.

Yes, what DICK BURNS said!

We dont have enough certified controllers in NY as it is! Backup controllers would be a luxury!!!

Also, if I don't like the attitude of a particular pilot, can I ask to that the other pilot in the cockpit (or maybe the chief pilot) take over?

If you happen to check on a freq and the controller gives you attitude (for whatever reason), can you state that you refuse to "speak with him/her and would like to have a back-up controller"?? or superviser work you until your off the freq/out of their airspace?

OK....sounds like more than one has their panties stretched too tight......geezzz

Just tell him/her that if they speak to you like that again, you are going to go through your wires, and into their wires and tie their lips together.

Worked for me.

Or the ever ubiquitous ...

"OH NO YOU DI-IN!!" (as you wag your finger and a$$ in opposite directions and your best NewYork-a-rican accent).
