Retard...

My standard day is... 30 mins taxy out, held low on departure (worst SID is DVR...due to the OCK/BIG holds) 15 mins hold on arrival, with a long S pattern to final.

You being shafted? - nope you are being treated the same as everybody else.

On taxy out, the TWR controller is shifting everybody around trying to achieve the max departure rate as possible. Bunching heavies together is normal, as is trying to achieve the ideal flow of northbound vs southbound departures. Sometimes you win, sometimes not-all for the max efficiency! After a while you can almost guess what will happen next, but you have to appreciate where everybody is going, hence what SID they are on.

And if you get called a troll when you are unwilling to listen, so be it!
