CPR PLT HAS INTERCHANGE WITH CTR CTLR AFTER COMPLYING WITH CLRNC. POOR ATTITUDE.

Narrative

WHILE IN DSCNT FROM FL260 I WAS INSTRUCTED TO EXPEDITE MY DSCNT. I DID SO BY ACCOMPLISHING A DSCNT EXCEEDING 3000 FPM ON THE ASSIGNED COURSE. WITHIN SECONDS AFTER ESTABLISHING THIS RAPID DSCNT; THE CHICAGO CTLR ISSUED A DIRECTIVE TO 'TURN R TO A HDG OF 090 AND WHEN OUT OF FL180; GO DIRECT GRR.' OF COURSE; I ROLLED INTO THE TURN AND THEN COMMENTED; 'I'M ALREADY DOING 3000 FPM.' AT THIS POINT; I BEGIN TO WONDER WHAT WAS TOO IMPORTANT TO THE CTLR TO ASK FOR AN EXPEDITIOUS DSCNT AND THEN WITHIN SECONDS; TURN ME 80 DEGS OFF COURSE. IT SEEMS MY COMMENT DID NOT SET WELL WITH THE CTLR BECAUSE; WHEN I ASKED 'WHERE IS THE TFC THAT I AM BEING VECTORED ALL OVER THE SKY FOR;' HIS ONLY RESPONSE WAS 'ARE YOU GOING DIRECT GRR?' AFTER 2 OR 3 REQUESTS OF 'WHERE IS MY TFC;' I CONFIRMED THAT WE WERE INDEED ALREADY GOING DIRECT GRR. HE THEN SAID MY TFC WAS AT 12 O'CLOCK; 5 MI AND AT FL200. HE ALSO ASKED ME TO CALL THE CTR ON LNDG. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT MY CHOICE OF WORDS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER. PERHAPS WITH DIFFERENT PHRASEOLOGY; THIS CONFRONTATION COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED. 1 FACT DOES REMAIN; THAT WHEN ASKED TO EXPEDITE A DSCNT AND THEN; SECONDS LATER; TURNED 80 PLUS DEGS OFF COURSE; IT SHOULD SET OFF A WARNING IN ANY PLT'S HEAD. SOMETHING HAS GONE WRONG! THIS EXCHANGE WAS NOT DRIVEN BY EGO OR A WILLFUL ACT OF DEFIANCE. RATHER; IT WAS DRIVEN BY FEAR AND THE BELIEF THAT THE CTLR HAD INDEED MADE A MISTAKE. AT THE TIME; I THOUGHT THERE WAS A CLR THREAT TO THE SAFETY OF MY ACFT. CORRECTIVE ACTION: IT'S OBVIOUS THAT I HAVE TO USE LESS CONTROVERSIAL LANGUAGE. IT WOULD ALSO SEEM THAT CTR SHOULD RESPOND WITH TFC POS ADVISORIES WHEN ASKED. CTR'S RESPONSE VIA TELEPHONE WAS 'THAT INFO IS CONSIDERED EXTRA DUTY AND NOT REQUIRED.' ALSO; A VEILED THREAT OF LICENSE LOSS FOR TYING UP CTR FREQ WAS MADE BY THE SUPVR OF THAT SHIFT.
