Seems that on a one on one basis I usually get excellent service from
controllers, but on a buearacratic level, such as the one described in this
link, it gets crazy.

This seems to be the case for schools, doctors, lawerys, etc. as well.
On the whole the system is screwed, but _MY_ doctor, childs' school, etc.
is doing the best they can and a fairly good job.
I learned to fly from a class D airport (KBFI) which is under class B
airspace; so I've been talking to ATC from lesson one. I have NEVER had a
problem with ATC and have never not been allowed into the clas B. Yet I
read/heard abot all kinds of problems with out ATC system.
