I don't recall anything that says some big shot in a jet has a higher
priority reason to land there than you do. That's why it's called a
public airport.


Of course they have a higher priority. They have 100+ passengers, they are
trying to make a schedule, their fuel costs more than your plane, they fly
at speeds that match the local traffic, they are almost always perfect at
low IFR approaches - they fit in the system that was designed for them. You
don't. If you want to use a Class B, go for it. But don't get ****ed off
when you get vectored for half an hour to fit you into the pattern - that's
like getting angry that New York has more traffic than Peoria. It's just
part of the environment.

And, by the way, if you get upset at the approach end, wait until you have
to wait on line to depart behind 18 stinking jets at 105 degrees because you
couldn't get the taxi clearance you wanted. Sure, we have every right to fly
in and out of Class Bs. Sometimes, like in the case of the OP, it probably
makes sense. But 99% of the time life is much easier landing at one of the
local GA airports.
