The heavily edited tape includes enroute handing off to approach. You
did not at any time hear the supervisor. What you heard was approach
responding "unable" to the 17C request, not a refusal, and an
expedited approach on the active.


A response of "unable" is not a refusal?


I am "unable" to hop like a frog.
I "refuse" to hop like a frog.

There's a distinct difference.



The end result is the same. This is a distinction without a difference.
