I'm trying to figure out why pilots stated "performance" as a reason to use a 32L. 14R appears suitable and aircraft were being sequenced onto 14L. Seems to me Vistajet may have been contrary to the flow. Someone earlier on this thread stated that ATC "ought to be taught a lesson". Same as when pilots say require instead of request. Also try to use a different runway for a shorter taxi out or in or simpler manoevering in the terminal area.
heading southeast, there is little room before the SEA class B extends to the ground.
Heading northwest, there’s a lot more leeway for a heavily laden aircraft that might not want to cause any more inconvenience than necessary.
Wasn’t there, just my two cents worth.
