One for the flight crew on here if I may.
An eyeballs-out deceleration on landing at Heathrow on Monday made me wonder: when you land, do you know in advance which exit you wish to take from a runway or do you just take the next exit when you have slowed enough?
I hope that doesn't sound like a dumb question and I am in no way casting aspersions on safety etc. I trust you guys with my life far more than I do most people into whose cars I get. But sometimes when all the anchors are out on the runway and I'm leaning forward out of my seat it does seem as if the exit is pre-determined and that's the one we're taking like it or not :)
