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.

Thumbs down

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