Didn't you know? ATC mistakes/assumptions are always the pilot's fault, because ATC never makes a mistake.

Doc's original comment on this, along the lines of "many ('pilots') have no business flying a SR22" was spot on. For any number of reasons.

We were "Cleared for the Visual" the other day, no speed restriction assigned. I began slowing for our last notch of flaps and the approach controller got pretty upset. She said we needed to speed back up and that we should have notified her of our speed change. Again, we were cleared for the visual, no speed assigned and established on the localizer within 3nm to 5nm of the FAF...

HEY - how did you get my picture? Listen, how I decide to dress on the weekends is up to ME and nobody else. I just needed to stop and rest for a second after checking the oil after captaining my 135 kt high performance machine and gaze into the sky. My next destination? Up to me, and nobody else. My 182 has "Bad Boy" silkscreened on the cowl.
I'm just kidding BTW, I have a MUCH BIGGER WATCH and my epaulets have FOUR stripes. I also have a three bladed prop because I am serious about performance AND considerate of my neighbors. This three-striper guy is indeed a tool.

Flight today to TUL..... Captain made PA on what military aircraft he and FO had flown. Talked about weapons school and importance of FO's dad being his friend. 😎 But the best was him talking about not doing any aileron rolls on the flight today.
When are these guys going to figure out they no longer are in the air force and are now just a number......

I flew with a Capt who did something similar, and about half the people made positive comments after they got off the 5 hour flight. Many of them thanked us for our service. Others appreciated the humor. Nobody had a negative comment (guess you weren't on the flight.)
Yea, they may have gone over the top, but I nominate you for TOTD, especially for bringing this up ... On Memorial Day weekend!
