So long as they are not directing you to do something unsafe, or hard on
the
equipment or passengers, or otherwise an extreme hassle - why not just
go
along?


For what purpose?


Safety! What does he know that you do not?



Lets say he is not a sharp troop. Why make his job harder.


But it doesn't make his job harder.


Every extra statement he makes takes time. Also, you may now be too close
to another flight path, making him divert it. What are you thinking? How
about the added stress from your denial adding to the rest of his stress. I
find it strange that you really don't care about being nice to controllers.



While you are
giving the guy fits, someone else is trying to get a clearance or
advice.


It's not me that's giving him fits, it's his misunderstang of procedures
that's giving him fits.


No, its you. You are at fault. You are being hard headed and stubborn for
no reason. You don't know what he is up against. You don't even know what
you are up against. You don't have to move out of the way to let a drunk
stumble by you in a crowded bar either, but its your dry cleaning bill.



Keep it up, and they will just expand the class B, because they NEED to
control that space.


Why do they NEED to control it?


Because they are control freaks, and have ever expanding volumes of traffic.
This is how government agencies work. They want control, they need
control, they demand control, and then AOPA has to fight them to keep them
from grabbing it.

The only reason the Class B area around you is not bigger, is that they
cannot show they need it. Otherwise, they would expand it. Every time a
flight has to get vectored to avoid VFR traffic, is another straw on the
proverbial camel's back.




If we go along, we can delay or eliminate the need to expand class B
areas.


That's got nothing to do with it.


See above, it has everything to do with it. Why do you think we have Class B
areas to start with? ATC wants your airspace, don't give them an excuse to
take it!
