CPR FLT CREW COMPLAINT ABOUT FREQUENT ROUTE CHANGES WHILE WORKING WITH ZDC.

Narrative

WHILE JUST W OF THE GVE VOR AT FL210 WE RECEIVED A ROUTING CHANGE; WE WERE ENRTE TO HPN. THIS ROUTING CHANGE WAS TO BE ONE OF 4 BEFORE I REACHED THE ARR RTE. NONE OF THESE CHANGES INVOLVED VOR'S OR ARWYS WE HAD ORIGINALLY BEEN CLRED FOR AS FILED. NOT ONLY WERE THESE CLRNCS RATHER COMPLICATED AND LENGTHY FOR THE MOST PART; THEY WERE LOW ALT ARWYS ALTHOUGH I WAS STILL AT FL210. 2 OF THESE ROUTING CHANGES CAME WITHIN APPROX 5-8 MINS. THESE 4 ROUTING CHANGES INCLUDED J150; V16; V29; V4; V139; V229; V479; V214; AND THE FOLLOWING VOR'S: PATUXENT; SEA ISLE; YARDLEY; SALISBURY; CALVERTON AND DUPONT; AND THE FOLLOWING INTXNS: TAPPA; DONIL; DICED; ZIGGI; IN ADDITION WE WERE CHANGED FROM THE DICED 1 ARR TO THE ZIGGI 1; BACK TO THE DICED 1; AND FINALLY BACK TO THE ZIGGI 1 ARR. THESE ARWYS; VOR; INTXNS; ARE NOT IN ORDER AS THEY ARE LISTED. THIS COMPLICATED SERIES OF ROUTING CHANGES IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME IS ASKING A BIT MUCH OF A CREW; MUCH LESS A SINGLE IFR PLT. WE HAD NO LOW ALT CHARTS OUT EXCEPT THE NY AREA SINCE WE EXPECTED TO FLY THE JET ROUTES AS FILED AND CLRED. NOBODY COULD POSSIBLY CLR THE AREA WHILE THE PLTS ARE FRANTICALLY LOOKING FOR MAPS AND ENSURING YOU ARE NOT INVADING SOMEONE ELSE'S AIRSPACE. THIS FLT WAS UNNECESSARILY COMPLICATED BY THE CTLRS AND CREATED A DEFINITE SAFETY OF FLT PROB.
