Seems to be more of a lax attitude and lack of accountability for being an a-hole by controllers. Many don’t like to be back talked, even when THEY screw up.
Listen to the one from LGA a few months back where they played the recording of when the the DAL CA phoned the tower sup. He was was a total beta and would have been justified telling the sup what a d1ck the controller was. 28 years in 121.
