Bob, the emphasis is on the "pilots" plural, not just each individual pilot. It's a team sport, something many pilots just don't seem to get.
Clearedtoreenter, if you're doing something that's different to what everyone else is doing, say flying from A to B when everyone else is arriving and departing of course you're going to get dicked around. It's far easier (thus safer) to move one aircraft out of the way than moving a dozen around the one.
