Apparently it is to be encouraged if it saves a minute or two of waiting at the hold!
Well said.
I hear that flying is expensive in the UK, and everyone is trying to save a quid, and fly as cheaply as possible, but come on here, isn't courtsey still a hallmark of behaviour in the UK?
I don't think that one can be proud of, or defend, "butting in" the queue, be it at Tescos, or on the runway. If proper radio calls were made and missed, it could be seen from differing perspectives. If no radio calls were made to assure that everyone was in agreement, poor form in my opinion.
