Thank you all those pilots who can look at the big picture and make common sense decisions. All others who checked your brains at security, keep working hard to get that training dept position.
You are making a pretty big assumption that your viewpoint is "looking at the big picture and making a common sense decision". Your "technique" would be a violation of my FOM (by extension FAR's) and as a conscious decision, not even protectable by an FSAP should an incident occur.
There is a reason why it is required at my airline to have the strobes on when crossing the hold line on an active runway. Oh, and if I wanted a training department position I would have had one long ago. Ironic you cop a condescending attitude to people who follow their FOM and adopt tried and proven best practices
