Boy you called that right. Some 30 years ago I used to fly into Dallas Love.
There was rancher I heard a few times also inbound to DAL. He used a cow
bell to announce himself. Approach always knew who he was and would say
Roger barnburner 123( or what ever his call sign was) radar contact.
Other times I'd hear some poor fella who sounded nervous. They always got
treated poorly. Approach just did not have time to deal withsome who was
going to take up a lot of time on the frequency.

There is.

In my experience, Atlanta and Dallas are always hyper and very curt.
Houston
can be high stress too, but will sometimes be laid back and helpful.

New Orleans is, well, N' Awlins.

Dan...

my impression having driven big iron and GA aircraft in and out of a
Lot of TCA's opps Class B's is that the main determining factor is the
pilot. Sound like you know what you are doing and they assume you do.

Stutter, dont have a plan, be random in your radio work...they tend to
all get a little stiff particularly as traffic mounts.
