A PA31 PLT EXPRESSES ANGER AFTER BEING RESTR FROM A TIMELY APCH TO LDJ BECAUSE OF CONFLICTING EWR TFC.

Narrative

I WAS TRYING TO GET TO LINDEN; NJ; FROM SARATOGA SPRINGS; NY. I WAS GIVEN AN ATC CLRNC ON THE GND. WHEN I WAS HANDED OFF TO NEW YORK APCH AT COATE INTXN; I DSNDED TO 4000 FT ON A HDG OF 190 DEGS. AFTER I REACHED 4000 FT; I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO DO THE APCH IN TO LDJ BECAUSE IT WAS MARGINAL WX AND WAS ASKED MY INTENTIONS. I INSISTED THAT I NEEDED TO GO TO LDJ. I WAS THEN TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE AT LEAST 1 HR HOLDING AND WAS TOLD TO TURN R TO A HDG OF 020 DEGS. I WAS UPSET THAT I WOULD HAVE TO HOLD FOR 1 HR AND SINCE TURNING L TO A HDG OF 020 WAS QUICKER; I TURNED L. I WAS WRONG TO TURN L. THE REASON I WAS GIVEN THE HOLD WAS THAT I WOULD BE IN CONFLICT WITH THE EWR TFC. I ASKED TO BE PUT IN THE LINE FOR EWR. AT FIRST; ATC REFUSED; BUT EVENTUALLY THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. THE ONLY WX WAS FOG AND HAZE OVER THE EAST COAST. I WANTED TO TALK TO THE SUPVR AT NEW YORK APCH ON THE TELEPHONE. I WAS GIVEN THE PHONE NUMBER AND TRIED TO TALK TO THE SUPVR BUT ALL I GOT WAS THAT I HAD NO RIGHTS TO GO TO LDJ AS LONG AS THERE WAS TFC GOING TO EWR. I FINALLY HUNG UP ON THE SUPVR BECAUSE OF HIS BELLIGERENT ATTITUDE. SOMEONE SHOULD TALK TO HIM ABOUT LITTLE GUYS AND OUR RIGHTS TO FLY.
