Will, how did you guess that it was MIA?
It wasn't a safety issue or anything. It was Thursday afternoon, coming out of FXE. I had to wait 15 minutes for a clearance, and then I had to hold short for 15 more minutes for a release. The weather was pretty crummy, and there was that NASA TFR up towards Orlando. So, after I departed and the frequency calmed down, I simply asked if there was a problem that I needed to know about, and if there were going to be anymore delays down the pipe. We'll just say that she was clearly offended that I would question the quality of the service I was being provided, and decided to spout off a little bit.
I was tempted to say some pretty nasty things, but instead I just asked for her initials and went about my day.
I'm not going to pursue it - it's not worth it. but, if she's unhappy with her job, I'll tell her the same thing I'll tell a bitter pilot. Go and do something else. I'm not giving her any "inconvenience" by expecting efficient service and a decent attitude. That's what she's getting paid for.
Oh, well . . . . I'll be gone next week . . .
