Thanks Marauder, to you & yours too. We don't just screw you guys around for the fun of it.
GA Driver, if you require it you get it. A domestic might get asked "why?" by the flow if the reason isn't evident just in case you have a problem that might affect the way we handle you or if we need to allow a bit more time behind you.
I don't play the "request" vs "require" game for foreign carriers either - I just tell the flow "require". I tried in my earlier days and all it does is confuse the pilots and waste a huge amount of time. As one guy I work with said, we'd look pretty stupid if they drive off the far end of a short runway.
