We are extremely accountable ... I know people that have received letters in their files, time on the street, and even termination. My point is if ATC did something dangerous or failed to provide a safety related service then by all means pursue it. If it's because you got yelled at then I would pursue a more informal method of complaining, like talking to the supe or going through your union, have one of your reps contact a Natca rep. I am in no way defending yelling at a pilot, I'm just trying to pass along some info, that pursing a formal type of investigation with the FAA has the potential to turn over many rocks.
The FAA is my employer and I trust them less then anyone... look at the way they treat those that work for them ... do you think they will treat you any better ???
