Narrative:

We departed miami int'l, were handed over to miami departure. At that time we were told to turn to a 350 degree heading and 5000'. While in the turn we told the controller we needed to roll out on a 010 degree heading due to a solid line of thunderstorm buildups on a n-s line with no immediate holes to go through. The controller became upset and said 'we were the 4TH aircraft that had a problem turning in that direction.' he then again told us to turn to a 300 degree heading and I advised him we could not because of the WX. He did not listen to us and again told us this time to turn to a 270 degree heading and climb to 16,000'. During this time period, he questioned an aircraft in front of us, if he was in the clear. That aircraft was in the clear but he was already at 16,000'. I advised him 'we were not lying to him'. We finally were able to find a hole and turned to a 270 degree heading. Aircraft that departed after us were also complaining that line was closing rapidly. I would have taken a turn over water, but the controller was too upset with his job. He did not want to hear our problems with the WX since he repeatedly asked us to turn. When we returned to phl (our destination) I called miami approach to speak to a chief, but the shift that was working had already gone home.

Title: FLT CREW OF MLG DEPARTING MIA UNABLE TO ACCEPT TURNS AS DIRECTED BY TRACON CTLR ACCOUNT LINE OF TSTM BUILDUPS WITH POTENTIAL TURBULENCE.

Narrative: WE DEPARTED MIAMI INT'L, WERE HANDED OVER TO MIAMI DEP. AT THAT TIME WE WERE TOLD TO TURN TO A 350 DEG HDG AND 5000'. WHILE IN THE TURN WE TOLD THE CTLR WE NEEDED TO ROLL OUT ON A 010 DEG HDG DUE TO A SOLID LINE OF TSTM BUILDUPS ON A N-S LINE WITH NO IMMEDIATE HOLES TO GO THROUGH. THE CTLR BECAME UPSET AND SAID 'WE WERE THE 4TH ACFT THAT HAD A PROBLEM TURNING IN THAT DIRECTION.' HE THEN AGAIN TOLD US TO TURN TO A 300 DEG HDG AND I ADVISED HIM WE COULD NOT BECAUSE OF THE WX. HE DID NOT LISTEN TO US AND AGAIN TOLD US THIS TIME TO TURN TO A 270 DEG HDG AND CLIMB TO 16,000'. DURING THIS TIME PERIOD, HE QUESTIONED AN ACFT IN FRONT OF US, IF HE WAS IN THE CLEAR. THAT ACFT WAS IN THE CLEAR BUT HE WAS ALREADY AT 16,000'. I ADVISED HIM 'WE WERE NOT LYING TO HIM'. WE FINALLY WERE ABLE TO FIND A HOLE AND TURNED TO A 270 DEG HDG. ACFT THAT DEPARTED AFTER US WERE ALSO COMPLAINING THAT LINE WAS CLOSING RAPIDLY. I WOULD HAVE TAKEN A TURN OVER WATER, BUT THE CTLR WAS TOO UPSET WITH HIS JOB. HE DID NOT WANT TO HEAR OUR PROBLEMS WITH THE WX SINCE HE REPEATEDLY ASKED US TO TURN. WHEN WE RETURNED TO PHL (OUR DEST) I CALLED MIAMI APCH TO SPEAK TO A CHIEF, BUT THE SHIFT THAT WAS WORKING HAD ALREADY GONE HOME.
