Jeff:

I fly into Phoenix all the time - I've never run into unfriendly
controllers. Busy, yes; unfriendly, no. I have been vectored all over the
place, but I assume that was for traffic or arrival/departure corridors or
some logical reason.

Phoenix has nine control towered airports under it's Class B airspace
including Luke AFB and Williams-Gateway (formerly Williams AFB) which is the
cargo hub for a 400 miles radius. PHX, during the winter months, is about
the sixth busiest airport in the country. Damn right it's busy
