I don't understand what you're saying. They were waiting on rampers?

I figured the first "rookie" mishap would be this winter, when these newbie Captains with right at 1,000 hours 121 SIC have to bring an EJet to a stop on a slippery runway/taxiway in DCA or wherever--never fathomed it would be a taxiing mishap, in PHX, in daytime VMC
