I just wish I had that guy on my frequency at NY TRACON.
I dont totally understand the need to sterilize the airspace at the airport for an emergency, but whatever the reason was (good or bad), it was an order made by the FAA. The controller clearly told the pilot to remain outside the Class D airspace, and the pilot didnt do it. The fact that he started arguing with the controller on the freq added to the fire. The fact that he was not making only necessary transmissions is even more. I see 3 violations there at least, and if that pilot was in my airspace, I'd make sure to follow that one up with FSDO.
I'll agree with the rest of you, this made my blood boil. The pilot had no regard for aviation safety nor the lives of the 100 or so people on the Allegiant jet.
