I personally believe that he is not a real controller. With a thought
process that is so confrontational as his it would seem he supervisor
would request a mental exam to assure the flying public is not put in
danger. This could turn out to be a MX controller... Scary
thought. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You're free to believe whatever you choose. I rarely even mention that I'm
a controller, anyone here can claim to be anything they choose. Rather than
post, "I'm a controller and this is the way it is...", my messages tend to
take the form, "This is the way it is because FAA Order 1234.56A says..."
Which form do you find more convincing?

Neither,,,because the Pilot incommand has the FINAL responsibility for
the safety of any given flight. That leaves out a controller that
spaces planes too closely and any FAA order that can't conform to a
given situation on short notice.
