"MIA requires the follow me for all 380's. If you operate out of MIA daily, it's probably no big deal to you, but to infrequent visitors the airfield is just a sea of green and blue lights at night. I'm not sure what pathetic exchange you heard, but I'd be much happier being called pathetic than trying to explain why I'd let the big, ugly bastard sink into the concrete on an unapproved taxiway; the paperwork tends to eat into valuable drinking time."
Buter,
Sorry about my poor writing skills (public colonial schools you know
)
The "pathetic" radio exchange was between the MIA Ground Controller and the clueless "Follow Me" vehicle. The BA crew was professional and silent during the wait for their escort.
The MIA ground control operation has sunk to a level I've not seen in a long time.
