I've seen more than one Delta main liner do the Exact same thing.
Were you born with inertial navigation in your brain making you superior to all??? Glad to see you find comedy in guys doing the best they can.
I only see ORD about 3-4 times a year, and guess what? I've never once had an issue there finding a taxi way or where I'm suppose to go, even in a crap storm.
I can understand missing 1 turn, but turning onto the WRONG taxi way that is AWAY from the deicing equipment, then blocking operations, then finally figuring out where you're suppose to go and then going RIGHT past that spot is beyond excusable.
And hey, when someone crashes a plane because they weren't sure what they were doing and kills 69 people, I guess you can just chalk it up to "they were just doing the best they can."
