Yes, the Speedbird crew appear irked by the situation, rightly or wrongly; but I wouldn't say they're unprofessional about raising their concern. From another viewpoint, they also give the controller advance notification that they consider safety was eroded and the ATC has an opportunity to recall as much of her perception of the situation as possible, rather than finding out several weeks later and not have a complete picture of events. - Journey Man
