As someone observed after the Comair crash in LEX, we have better situational awareness driving to work with a $200 GPS than we do taxiing an airliner at a major airport.
That 'someone' was full of cr*p.
GPS or no GPS. situational awareness is one of several primary duties of pilots.
Can't stand the heat, get the heck out of the (FD) kitchen.
There is absolutely NO excuse for pilots taxying over lights, if they are illuminated.
None, nil, zip.
