While this may be true, I have flown in and out of ATL from the left seat os an RJ and I can't recall any intersecting taxiways where visibility down the runways is obstructed. Someone mentioned CRM earlier in this thread, and someone else mentioned that though the tiller in on the CA side BOTH crewmembers are tasked with taxiing the aircraft. Quoting the report on the Comair crash at Lexington, statistics show that a majority of accidents/incidents that happen on the ground occur when the CA is taxiing and the FO is off frequency or heads down running a checklist.

Mesa had a deal a year ago where the FO had just come back on freq and read back a pos/hold instruction wrong resulting in a non-cleared T/O. Slow down out there, and keep the multi-tasking to a minimum. Read back all instructions, and make sure you emphasize portions that involve a runway.

I had a deal in JFK where it was dark and raining and I blew through an intersection I was supposed to hold short of for a DAL 67. Guess what the FO was doing? He was off freq talking to ops to coordinate a gate. I had a healthy serving of crow from the ground controller... what blew my mind is that an AA 67 had just done the exact same thing by blowing through an intersection less than 5 min before...

This incident should tell us all to SLOW DOWN AND BE CAREFUL. Personally, I taxi like grandma and spidey senses are tingling any time I cross a runway.

Fly safely!
