Turtleneck -
and came to a basic halt on the runwat before turning off
I think this is the crux of the matter. You're right, you don't need any distractions when landing, but once you've slowed to taxy speed (or seemingly in this case, slower) you're just blocking the runway. That's not professional. Runway occupancy times should be kept to a minimum. Try this at Heathrow and you would not be popular.

Rockhound - Just to be clear, I wasn't having a pop at you, and quite often I totally agree with you! I also sympathise if English isn't your first language, you're having to translate these posts twice!

When radioexcel said
I think this and excelent example of professionalism?
I noticed the question mark on the end, which I assumed to indicate sarcasm, i.e. I think this and excelent example of professionalism, NOT! His next sentence I think was commenting on the fact that he wan't able to pass landing clearance to the next A/C until he was 1 mile from T/D, due to the Air France hold up.
