Why distract another crew who is taking the runway for takeoff? You are not moving. Close your eyes or look away. And hope the other dummy reads APC so he will know better next time
I obviously don't continue to stare at their "taxi" light (which it seems on some B757s is the equivalent of the Guppy's landing lights)....duh! The Guppy's nose taxi light is equivalent to ****ing on a house fire to try to put it out......i.e. USELESS, which is why I've flashed the turnoff/landing lights in the past to get them to turn their damn "taxi" light off. Seriously, have you had a B757 turn their supposed "taxi" light on while pointed right at you and taking the runway?
Show a little courtesy and common sense and you'll get exactly the same thing in return. Don't tell me that some of these DLA B757 guys are so clueless as to not realize how bright their taxi lights are especially in the above mentioned scenario
