I used to get this sort of stuff a lot back in Broome. When a 146 landed on RWY 28 it used to take them four minutes from crossing the threshold to clearing the runway after taxiing to the node and back traking full length. In reverse, when departing on 10 the jet drivers never had a problem with the 210's and 206's back tracking behind and taking off from the intersection. To the best of my knowledge we never ever held one of them up and I certainly never heard of a complaint.

In the circuit I'd try to stay out of the way of the big fellas but a couple of the drivers used to tell us to hurry up so they wouldn't hold us up.

Works both ways!!
