What if, while we are approaching the alley ground control tells us to give way to an EMB that's taxiing way too fast on Alpha because the early 30s captain is rushing to the gate to send his Snapchats? But I already switched off of ground? That's why I keep ground in until I'm completely off the taxiways.
