Homonculus, you rather miss the point, which is; If we all argued with ATC every time we felt delayed or our needs not been immediately met, imagine the chaos in the skies. Its all well and good trying to justify the unjustifiable but as the old acid test continues to give...when we climb in an Airbus/Boeing, we don't expect the Captain to start arguing with ATC. State of mind, Safety, Efficiency, Distraction and all the other hooded horsemen of the Apocalypse coalesce. Whatever the detail of the prosecution, I doubt My T will get himself in this situation again and its good that it is here on PPRUINE cos there isn't, nor there should be, any excuse for behaving like this!
Anything else is just hot air and moaning.
