A300 FLT CREW WITH ZMA AND UNABLE TO RECEIVE WX DEV CLRNC ELECTS TO CONTACT HAV FOR DEV APPROVAL INTO HAV AIRSPACE.

Narrative

AFTER STUDYING THE WX RADAR IN MIA (THERE WAS THE HUGE TROPICAL STORM SYS) WE HEADED TOWARD ZZZ. WE HAD A RTE THAT WAS UNUSUAL; THAT WOULD BRING US INTO ZZZ FROM THE SW DUE TO ALL THIS WX. AS WE WERE APCHING FORST INTXN; WE REQUESTED A DEV R OF COURSE. ZMA SAID SHE COULD ONLY APPROVE 15 MI R BECAUSE OF HAV AIRSPACE. I KNOW FROM OVER 20+ YRS OF FLYING THIS RTE THAT SHE COULD SIMPLY PICK UP THE PHONE AND ASK HAV FOR MORE. HOWEVER; THE CTLR WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL DUE TO THE FACT SHE WAS EXTREMELY BUSY WITH MANY ACFT DEVIATING. I HAD MY FO QUICKLY GET ON THE RADIO WITH HAV WHO QUICKLY GOT APPROVAL FOR OUR NEEDED WX DEV. I INFORMED MIA THAT WE GOT A CLRNC FROM HAV. SHE RESPONDED THAT HAV DID NOT APPROVE IT FOR HER. HAV SAID TO FLY DIRECT JOTAS WHEN ABLE. I CONTINUED TO INFORM MIA OF HAV'S INSTRUCTIONS. HAV CTR WAS VERY HELPFUL AND APPROVED OUR DEV. WE AVOIDED FLYING THROUGH SEVERE WX; AND I BELIEVE IT WAS A SAFE OP. THE REASON I'M WRITING THIS RPT IS BECAUSE THE MIA CTLR SEEMED UPSET. NOTE: AS WE APCHED JOTAS A DIFFERENT CTLR HAD TAKEN OVER AND THERE WAS NO MENTION OF THE DEV.
