Under that assumption and, sure.

But between clearing a runway, being close to another runway intersection, etc who's to say they weren't just being cautious when they say an aircraft so close to them? We're they simply taking pause to verify the taxi route, etc? And I haven't researched, but was it night time?

Can't really fault them either way.

And since his panties are so twisted, could you imagine if it was an AA airplane

The attitude for sure does. Maybe it's the recording, but the ATL incident CA happy sounds a little younger, MSP it sounds like a guy about to stroke out. Who knows, maybe years of being CA Happy did that to him....
