Semaphore,

I know what you mean, but if asked we are required to provide progressive taxi instructions. The issue is to be SAFE!

I've flown into ORD during busy traffic periods to hear the rapid fire taxi directions and wondered "what the heck did he say?". Add in taxiway closures, and constructions and taxiing around only gets more challenging.

I don't have a simple answer, but I can suggest that if possible you should try to visit the tower and talk with the controllers (not management) about some of the problems that you are encountering.

Mike
