This is pretty funny:
I would love to have listened in to the call the pilot had to make to that number…

Pretty awesome...that controller is acting like a total jerk and now the intra-pilot chatter is national. I don't see why whoever had the stuck mic would be making stuff up about this particular sector being particularly bad, and the controller's defensiveness seems to totally confirm his opinion. You also get the feeling that the controller's wish to give them a phone number to call (revenge vs. unkind characterization?) was at that point more important to him than controlling traffic (it kept interfering around more important communications). Of course it's the FAA we're talking about, so maybe not much will happen in that sector even if their bad performance was outed nationally.

He said basically the controllers at that tower were the worst and they would fly you right into the ground if you weren't careful
It was BWI
I think that was JFK, no? That crew will have a very uncomfortable phone call to make once they land.
