Which tower is the worst you've dealt with. I hear IAH chewing people out all of the time for simple mistakes.
 
Hands down winner is PHL!! That guy that works at night isn't happy unless you aren't happy.
 
STL- he's known as Mr.Happy! What an asshole this guy is!


Best- EWR these guys rock!

I hear you on both items. DCA suffers from Potomac's inablilty to control traffic. Replace them all!!

The good part about Ms. Cleo is that you can place bets with your crew on when the voice will change to clean up the mess.
 
Greenwood, MS. Dude that works up there is usually doing a crossword puzzle or something, so he could give a crap less what you do. I've actually been cleared to taxi, takeoff, and contact departure in one clearance there before I even started my engines.

Unprofessional, sure. Do I mind? Nope. It's actually kinda funny. :)

The first time I went into LGA (end of 00) and heard Ms. Cleo, I felt bad for her. I figured she was a trainee and everyone was hammering her. The second time I went into LGA the captain I was with told me she had been there a long time..

Now I go into LGA and hear her on the radio and think CHA CHING... An extra .5 on the taxi time easily with her at the controls.

Probably due to all the inexperienced XJet pilots there.

Whats the matter your wife isn't home so you can't throw a beatin' into her??? You are really one class act!

IHaveAPension, for the record I've heard ATC chew out Any and ALL airlines, it doesn't matter. Thank you and have a nice day, now back to the topic.
