Sort of funny . . .
If flying through SLC I'll definitely mention to the controller to "Please give Douglas Miner a hello for me"

Douglas Miner confirms that the FAA is nothing but a schoolyard bully with a badge.

This is ***ing ridiculous. I'll be sure to greet every controller I talk to from now on.

I've always made it a point to give out pleasantries over the radio. I think I helps make the day go smoother and it's also professional. This D.M. fellow reminds me of a quality specialist I had at a different job. Basically, they wanted to insure that the company got their information, and didn't care if the customer was assisted/satisfied.

My favorite is the referenced "Can you give me 190 knots in the CLIMB all the way down"

Incompetent managers can't even properly write someone up.
