This business has gone completely insane. ATC'ers who think they have the ability to analyze you by voice. Simply insane. I don't care if you do have 30 years behind the mic, some of us have 40 years in the aircraft. What next, calling the post office about a postal problem and having a mail "person" send the coppers to your house based on their 30 years experience delivering the mail.
In the US the ATC'ers actually make more than the ones doing the business on the flight deck because they are paid by the tax payers and simply are not accountable for costs. I retire in a matter of months, and although it has been a great ride, the changing environment makes me happy to get away from this insanity.
