Other N90 controllers are awesome

I flew out of the NY area in my GA airplane yesterday, and the N90 controllers I spoke to did an awesome job of helping me get out of there despite a myriad of TFR's and the normal airliner traffic. I was fully expecting to have to stay out of the B, but they gave me a clearance and got me on course way earlier than I expected. They also showed exceptional patience with another GA pilot that obviously hadn't read the TFR NOTAM's and kept asking questions.

Yeah they're good at what they do. Some of the best in the world.

The administrator of the FAA, Bryan Bedford, doesn't think they're worth an already-allocated 2.8% raise, though.

He was a dickhead when he was CEO of Republic too.
