DTW was really rude to me the other day. I wanted to clarify the ramp frequency I needed to use. EXCUSE ME if I'm confused because you have 4 ground frequencies, 2 north ramp frequencies and I am not based there. Get over yourself!!!!

JFK are also terrible controllers. They might do a good job with the traffic and all that they have to deal with, but there is no reason why they have to be a-holes. I was taxiing for departure about a month ago, and ground told me to monitor his tower frequency. I was in the middle of before takeoff checks, and I wasn't really thinking about the controller, so when I flipped the switch I said "air shuttle is up with you." He was FURIOUS. He made me sit there for 15 minutes before releasing me. There was no one else on the frequency, it was dead. A-hole.

ORD and ATL are the coolest controllers. As long as you don't stop in Chicago, they could care less if you screw up. They are so nice about it, and they don't yell at you unless you do something really stupid. I really enjoy working with those folks up there. ATL are cool too. They are super controllers, they know what's up, and they do a great job. I think they are laid back too.

LGA are also great controllers. The last few times I have been up in there, they have been extreamly nice, courteous and laid back. They also run a good operation.

PIT - well, I just love them there. They are cool, laid back, and funny as all get out. I love flying into PIT just to talk to the controllers! haha!
