Are they the best controllers, or do they just have the best airport and airspace setup? I think a controller in New York Tracon is working much harder than one in ATL.

Exactly. ATL controllers are some of the best but they also have a very ideally set up airport and airspace structure. Good for them.

I could be wrong here, I don’t fly every sid in ATL all the time, but we don’t get climb VIA because the only altitude on those Sids is 10000, and nothing intermediate.

lol @ the hat wearers saying that ATL are the best controllers in the world. Is there anything you guys are not indoctrinated into over there? They have the easiest airspace in the world to work with. Also maybe somebody can teach "your" controllers that aircraft don't instantaneously accelerate to 250 knots immediately after liftoff. Maybe some basic physics.

seems like everytime I'm behind a delta we're asked to slow to final approach speed 20 miles out. I'd say it's almost as ubiquitous as delta saying light chop everywhere.
Just struck me as funny that's all

And no, they aren’t the “best”. They still screw it up, and end up with spacing issues.
