I swear I was on the RWY, I did call in and ask why there were aircraft on the runway,
I did not hear UAL on radio say that I was on the taxiway,
I passed over one aircraft on the runway, then
I did not see that I passed 3 feet over aircraft with that just turned its landing lights on...
but I decided to do a go around because I was not on the taxiway, but something just did not seem right.
Glad I had 2 days to practice my story and , ooopsies, no CVR.
It is interesting that pilots want to claim they are responsible for the aircraft....until something happens, then the blame game surfaces.
Versus:
"Lets make an approach to the taxiway full of aircraft ...
To cover our butts, let's make a call that 'something doesn't seem right' ...
To make it really exciting we'll do a go-around at the last possible moment..."
