JFK ATC

Jfk atc need to get over them selves.

Inbound JFK after 14hrs. "enter the hold". "For how long I ask". Twenty minutes is the reply. " No problem" I say. I have ten minutes holding fuel then I am off to La Guardia.. "HOLD" . Ok, I got it the first time, just letting you know where I stand. Eight minutes and inbound....... Just checking, any improvement??? Loudly: HOLD. " Ok, Diverting to La Guardia." Errrrr... Ummmmm... #@$#@ You are cleared for the app, fly heading 250, etc.

And the Speed bird behind me had the same thing.

Either they can accept you, or they cant, why play games??

I did not declare low fuel or anything else. All of a sudden, they can accept me?? Please, they need to plan better.

And dont get me started on Ramp Control.

See you all tomorrow,

Sir O
