Controller deserved it.

Since when is asking for a sequence or IF there will be a delay a problem?

That controller just told the United to go pull over with no context. Asking IF there will be a delay is a reasonable question. A simple yes or no would suffice.

That's the most infuriating ATC recording I've ever heard. Idiot indeed.

Working LGA ground gives you the right to be a dick on the radio. The people who have to work with the dick are void of any rights. Everyone knows that.

And DUH fuel management is pilot responsibility. That's why they are asking for sequence and IF there is a expected delay... So they can manage their fuel 🤦‍♀️

I always thought they hired 1980s NYC cab drivers to work LGA ground. I was right.

I’m so glad the 717 doesn’t go to LGA. Can’t blame the pilot in this instance. Controller was a complete jerk.

Just wait until LPV shows up.

I’ve come close a few times…not gonna lie. I’ve had a break from LGA while on the 330 haha

Controller was clearly unfit for duty and should have been relieved.
