I've switched frequencies away from Chicago Center, when I could no
longer receive them (due to low altitudes) -- and they responded by
calling the airport manager at home, and having the poor schmuck go out
to the airport we landed at, looking for us.

They really don't like to have pilots leave their freq without
permission.


All you know for certain is that just one doesn't like it.

You really think that one controller in Chicago Center had the power and
authority to take it upon himself to call the airport manager at home and
drag his sorry heinie down to the airport, just because he was unhappy that
I lost radio contact with him?

The guy tracked me in to land at Rantoul, so he *knew* I was okay, which
eliminates the "he was concerned for my well-being" angle. So you think
this was just one guy with bean up his butt?
