I don't think there is anything wrong with calling and asking questions about a job offer. In some flying positions, these offers are even negotiable!
However, what I think happened here was that the OP didn't call and ask, he called and demanded, called and was unprofessional and abrasive.
If he didn't like the contract he could have backed out, thanking them for the opportunity and he could've even mentioned he didn't want to sign a contract, that's also part of the deal.
Trying to spin a rescinded job offer by a company as a personal decision, unless you are calling somehow causing the company to do so, a personal decision, is completely missing the point.
I think the take home lesson here is that no matter who the company is and the situation that you've found yourself during the hiring process, the best course of action is to remain professional throughout.

Truer words couldn't be spoken, especially in this case.
