The pilot is allowed to air his displeasure at the mix up. But, as mentioned, the ground crew is just as integral part of the team as the folks in the FD. They stopped. Incident averted. It's a busy frequency. People get stepped on all the time. And to justify the missed call because they weren't monitoring the frequency is wrong as well.
I can't recall the number of times I have been asked to cancel/hold pushback due to conflicting traffic. Someone in the FD is always monitoring the frequency. If the ASR was filed, I have a feeling it might backfire on this pilot.
And to clog an already busy frequency with a puerile comment that he will be filing an ASR? Ya. TOOL seems an appropriate description.
