B757 CREW WAS QUESTIONED BY CTLR ABOUT CLRNC.

Narrative

TWR CLRED US FOR TKOF ON RWY 21C (DETROIT METRO) 200 DEG HDG. SWITCHED TO DEP CTL WHO CLRED US TO 13000 FT AND TO MAINTAIN 250 KTS. DEP SWITCHES US TO ZOB. PASSING APPROX 10000 FT AND TOLD US TO ADVISE ZOB OF OUR AIRSPD RESTR. WE CHK-ON WITH ZOB ADVISING THEM OF ALT/AIRSPD/HEADING ASSIGNED. HE CLRS US TO 16000 FT; NORMAL SPD; DIRECT VWV VOR. WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE CLRNC AND ZOB REPEATED BACK 'NORMAL SPD.' WE SUBSEQUENTLY WERE CLRED TO FL180; FL200; FL230. ZOB SWITCHED US TO NEW CTR FREQ. AT TIME OF CHK-ON WITH NEW FREQ; WE HAD JUST PASSED VWV VOR ENRTE TO APE VOR. NEW CTLR ASKED WHY WE WERE TURNING TOWARD APE. WE ADVISED HIM OF OUR PRIOR CLRNC. HE ISSUED A R TURN HEADING 150 DEGS AND QUERIED US ABOUT THE PRIOR CTLR'S ROUTING. HE ASSUMED WE WERE STILL ON AN ASSIGNED HEADING AND NOT CLRED TO VWV; ETC. AFTER APPROX 3 MINS; HE CLRS US TO APE AND AGAIN IS IRRITATED ABOUT THE ROUTING WE RECEIVED FROM PRIOR CTLR. HE ACTED AS IF WE JUST ARBITRARILY DECIDED TO PROCEED TO VWV WITHOUT CTR AUTH. HE STATES 'HE WILL PULL THE TAPES.' WE ARE SUBSEQUENTLY SWITCHED TO ANOTHER FREQ AND IT'S OPS NORMAL TO ORLANDO. WE DID NOT APPROVE OF HIS DEMEANOR NOR HIS SNIDE COMMENTS CONCERNING THE TAPES. BOTH THE COPLT AND JUMP SEATER DISTINCTLY HEARD ALL ATC DIRECTIVES. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL ON ZOB'S END.
