Default OTA -- a new twist to "call me when you land"

Pilot: OK, tell you what, give me a phone number where I can call you after
I land.
I've heard controllers ask pilots to give them a call, but this is the
first time I've ever heard a pilot insist on calling.


LiveATC.net has a recent recorded exchange in their audio clips forum of an
Air Canada pilot getting into a ****ing contest with a Toronto departure
controller because the controller responded "Enough!" to the pilot's
repeated attempt to negotiate past a speed restriction on the busy
frequency.

The pilot then kept insisting on initials and a phone number, to which the
controller declined. It was a very interesting and it continued after the
hand-off with the next controller. A case of a bruised ego that just
couldn't let it go.

If I have time I will download and listen to the LiveATC archives for the
exchange in your example. It might be out there.

Things actually got
a bit more bizarre when, a few minutes later, the HPN ATIS was advertising
Mike and the controller was insisting that somebody should have November :-)


Man, I had that happen once at Syracuse. ATC accidentally skipped several
ATIS letters, jumping from J to P or something like that. When I called
clearance with Juliet, the controller lectured me that there was no way
that I could have received the ATIS, given that they were now at Papa.

I kept my mouth shut (no insistence of a phone number here) and was
rewarded with an airline pilot calling clearance right after me with ATIS
"Juliet."

For some unknown reason the old Austin airport ATIS used to skip
letters DURING the ATIS. You'd get something like:

"Austin ATIS information Sierra, winds... ... advise you have
information Tango."

Rochester NY (ROC) they sometimes get a bit over-zealous trying to reuse
all the NOTAM part of the ATIS when recording the next one, so you'll get
something like "...advise on initial contact you have information
TanAdvise on initial contact you have information Uniform."

Violence is the last resort of the incompetent.
The competent, of course, make it their *first* resort.

That reads like it is more work than it is worth.
