Then said to yourself "man, next time I have to deal with this controller, I'm gonna totally unload on them"?
Even though it was a DIFFERENT day, and the controller didn't do anything in that exchange to incite the behavior?
Who knows? Based on what you could be suggesting, maybe pilots the the night before got snippy with the controller and the controller simply responded in kind? Hmmmmmmm, maybe the internetz detectives can get to the bottom of this whole mess and pull the tapes from the IROP period the night before.........
Good grief, if any LGA based pilots did that circa 2000-2001 with a SPECIFIC controller that was notorious for having a serious attitude, it would have made that place even more fun.

not true, look at all the non-pilot comments about the pilot's behavior (not just this story but others like it). It doesn't take a pilot to know when one is being a douche. I'm not a doctor or a cop, but I can tell when their exchanges are out of the ordinary/douchey.

One would have to be a moron NOT to recognize the rude, condescending, unprofessional tone by Captain Happy. Kudos to the controller for keeping his cool and not firing back.

The DAL guy was way out of line. So was the guy who highlighted it (while having his app in for a job at the same company). The former has issues, so does the latter.
When was the last time you posted an exchange from a doctor or cop that was douchey?

I've been flying for 33 years. I've heard a lot of idiotic **** on the radio. I've never felt compelled to run home to my computer, track it down, and flame a fellow pilot or controller.

missed my point totally. Whether you agree with it being posted or not wasn't the issue. I've heard much worse on the radio. But it wouldn't take a pilot to realize that a pilot (or controller) was being out of line, as you said in your post. That's the only item I was debating. Now let me go listen to ATC tapes for a few minutes, I'll try to dig up some dirt on American to cut Delta a break
And, you're right, I missed your point.

There HAS to be a tape out there somewhere of an AS pilot losing it while flying an RNP into Juno.

I've heard a lot worse on the radio before. I typically just block a guy on the radio when he's acting like an idiot. It's best for those transmissions to be unreadable/unheard IMO, and that's for everyone's benefit.
