Try an easy go-around sometime instead of behaving like Maverick evading a Atoll missile in a F14 with a 4000' fpm climb to 3000'. Follow that with a short PA on downwind blaming a traffic sequencing issue. Easy come, easy go. The pax always looked calm when I've done it.
Big difference when low on a CATII-III or windshear.
As for "forcing" GA's? One might notice that jets aren't equipped with rear view mirrors. Sometimes exits are missed due to a higher speed or some other issue.
I'll beetch as much as the next guy when some guy lollygags down a 10K runway for whatever reason, but in the end, they own the pavement until exiting.
