RTO-if they did that to me I would taxi off of the runway, slot or no slot, unless they give you extra time to sit there and study the SID, tune in a VOR or LOC freq for the DME etc. We are still responsible for any turns and altitude restrictions.
Stilton, much of the time, operations people in our numerous cities never answer (hear) the radio after we land. Planes in our largest fleet have 100-122 seats, and either the radios are not considered important, or the people are all working at another plane, or having a smoke outside. Sometimes in Newark (EWR), it takes two or three calls to have them relay a logbook write-up to a mechanic/engineer.
