I find it extraordinary and sad in fact that we have come to accept this extremely poor R/T exchanges as " normal " . Because really , all this has no place in professional R/T exchanges , and in fact this controller blocks the R/T unnecessarily , which is ironically what he was bitching about with the Norse 787 ( pilot explain us why he can't vacate instead of existing the runway quickly) True the Norse should not have made a long comment to start with , but the response was out of order.

The problem here is the typical US issue to priorities numbers of movements per hour over standard safety . Here Approach put the 2 too close to one another in "standard" terms and this causes the go around., not the vacating at the next :exit. by the preceding aircraft. A 1/2 NM more been arrivals would probably eliminate all this, but again numbers seems to always be the priority in US major airports. .
It will bite them hard one day .
