I have a controller friend, who doesn't really like small
airplanes getting into his airspace.  He has lots of complaints about us,
but mostly from what I can gather, it's the inexperience/professionalism
that gets under his skin.
It's HIS JOB and not HIS AIRSPACE, it ours; we pay his salary.  If he doesn't 
like it, chose another carrier.  Do they hold a gun to his head?  Or maybe 
it's because it may require a little extra brain power or extra effort now and 
then to "help" the occasional nonprofessional pilot which he is not willing to 
do.  I have been inbound in "D" space, (that's not equipment suffix, it's 
airspace lingo) and listened to a few controllers in my 33 years of flying that 
were having a bad day, and jumping all over small guys without just cause.  When 
I get down, I call the controlling facility and "professionally" (the key 
here) let the supervisor know about it.  This is B.S. guys, were not FLAPS and it 
is not a "privilege" to expect professional service, it's there job. Don't 
lay down for this.  Rest in peace Ronald Reagan. 

No offense intended Kurt.
