From Delta: "Are we still on the GLDMN climb?"
DLV: "I don't know! What did we give you 3 hours ago? That's your clearance."
Delta: But we returned the gate and company refiled.
DLV: you know what, they need to stop doing that. I give you permission to fly, your company doesn't. I'm not telling you anything. What I gave you originally is your clearance.
I've always like NYC controllers, the one liners are classic. That said, jfk's shenanigans are cheeky and fun. It seems lga's shenanigans have turned cruel and tradgic.Originally Posted by CBreezy
I'd like to nominate the LGA clearance controller last night for the tantrum he was throwing for the better part of an hour because he had to do his job. Some of the more memorable quotes: "I'm going to shut this frequency down if you people keep calling me" "No, I'm not verifying anything, you can verify your route with center when you're airborne."

Joking aside... File an irregularity report. The FAA will read it and investigate it. The last thing that needs to happen here is center being overwhelmed by aircraft flying on wrong routes and worse, aircraft flying "too close to each other" in the tight confines of the airspace all 3 airports share.
