On the other hand the fact that there was a large queue behind you might just mean that the controller was trying to shift the aeroplanes in the best way possible overall. That's no excuse for poor controlling or not understanding what goes on on the flight deck but what you were asked to do was possible, maybe hard work but possible. Unlike the pilot the controller usually has to look after more than just one aeroplane. Is there any ways you guys and gals on the flight deck can remember this?
