Goldfish, why do forums like this have to be arguements? On the contrary I was trying to explain from our side why we use intersection take offs. It has nothing to do with jumping the queue, and perceived unprofessionalism and everything to do with trying to save some taxing time. That's my experience at least after 10 000hrs. The captain actually decides in the parking bay 20 minutes before start if he would like to use an intersection as part of our take off calculations. We request this before taxi before we can even see how many aircraft are at the holding point.
Besides its a Sunday. Peace be you with and you fellow ATC's that work in difficult situations. I will also refrain from using my "..if no delay" so that your colleague will no longer get "rilled".
