Thank You PantLoad.
Too many decent pilots are trying to help things along. They are trying to make up for too few runways, too few controllers and other shortcomings of the aviation system in the USA.
Hurry, up, fly faster, stay higher longer to save fuel, be a bit unspooled.
Get off the runway so the next guy doesn't have to go around.
Oh, and who cares about YOU when YOUR plane goes off the taxiway?
A million attaboys doesn't make up for one OOOPS!
Dear ATC, I hereby inform you on behalf of all pilots: we fly the planes, we stop when we need to and if you aren't watching out the window, its your problem.
we might have blown a tire...passed out at the controls...gotten lost...
you are sitting in the concrete tower with a big red panic button for help.
you guys have to work around us, not the other way around.
