Radio 'altercation' with ATC

I try to remember this when flying. Pilots are people and have good days
and bad days. I've done stupid things. I've let my voice tone indicate
that I am annoyed. Fortunately I haven't ever let myself have a radio
altercation.

ATC are people too. They have good days and bad days. Generally, I swallow
the bad for all of the good that they do for me. Heck, you get to know the
voices and something of the people. When I was a new pilot coming home to
CRQ, one of the controllers there, Caroline, was like my hearing my mothers
voice when I made an initial call. It sure feels good to be home!

Ego has no place in the cockpit and that is the only thing that will start
an arguement in the air. Stay calm. "Unable" and "Wilco" are powerful
words. Do your best Chuck Yeagar and get on the ground. If you were in
danger, make a phone call. If you are just annoyed, chalk it up to somebody
elses bad day and try not to make it worse.

Regarding this specific case. I wasn't there but, my first preference would
have been S-turns. How can you follow a Cherokee when it is out of site
during 360s? I'd always check in for a 360, but that is just my own
preference

Slip'er.
