A PLT WITH ANOTHER PLT IS DEMEANED AND TALKED DOWN TO BY THE INSPECTOR ON DUTY WHEN HE ATTEMPTS TO GET SOME ASRS FORMS FROM THE LCL FSDO OFFICE.

Narrative

I'M A PLT BASED AT LGB ARPT. ONE OF OUR PLTS HAD AN INCIDENT WITH AN ACFT AND I ADVISED HIM TO SUBMIT A NASA FORM. I WENT TO THE LGB FSDO WITH ANOTHER PLT TO GIVE HIM EXPERIENCE WITH THE FSDO AND ENCOURAGE USE OF THE ASRS. I ASKED FOR 4 OR 5 NASA FORMS WHEN I GOT TO THE COUNTER; AND THE CLERK WAS VERY COURTEOUS AND HELPFUL. THE INSPECTOR ON DUTY SUDDENLY LOOKED UP FROM WHAT HE WAS DOING AND WANTED TO KNOW WHY I NEEDED SO MANY. I EXPLAINED I WAS GOING TO PASS THEM OUT AMONG OUR NEW PLTS TO POSITIVELY RE-ENFORCE THE USE OF THE ASRS. HE CONTINUED TO GIVE US A REALLY HARD TIME ABOUT GETTING THE FORMS. HE WAS VERY CONDESCENDING AND ACTED LIKE HE PERSONALLY WAS GOING TO ALLOW ME TO TAKE THE FORMS AND WAS DOING ME A FAVOR. THE CLERK WAS VERY UNCOMFORTABLE AND THERE WERE PLENTY OF FORMS IN THE DRAWER. THIS EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE HAPPENED TO ME ABOUT 4 YRS AGO AT THE LGB FSDO WITH ANOTHER INSPECTOR. THE WHOLE THING GIVES YOU A BAD TASTE IN YOUR MOUTH; AND WISH YOU HADN'T BOTHERED TO GET A FORM. THE OTHER PLTS WERE DEFINITELY NOT ENCOURAGED ABOUT THE ASRS WHEN THIS STORY GOT AROUND. THAT'S WHY I BOTHERED TO SUBMIT THIS. I WOULD THINK THAT THE FSDO'S WOULD ENCOURAGE THE ASRS. AT A MINIMUM; JUST PASS OUT THE FORMS. THE ATTITUDE OF THE INSPECTOR ON DUTY DEFINITELY LEFT A BAD IMPRESSION.
