Returning one morning recently from a jungle turn we were behind this guy on the arrival into FLL. ATC gives him a heading an altitude and is told to maintain speed 210.
He tells ATC in a very condescending tone “Unable. You guys do this to me every time.” He then goes on and on berating the controller for vectoring him below the Bravo at 210kts.
My FO pulls up the class B chart and finds that he may have been technically correct about his position in relation to the Bravo but his tone on the radio was self righteous and condescending.
So my FO and I then park at our gate, walk to the hotel pickup spot and there he is. I say “damn you really gave it to that controller.” He then goes into this diatribe about how he’s out here having to protect his certificate on a daily basis and no one meets his expectations of professionalism.
