It gave me a whole new appreciation for the challenges of airline flying in major metro areas. I won't even get into trying to taxi to the FBO!
Welcome to Newark! At least they had a reason for doing it that day. It really sucks when it's 10 and clear and you're holding on the SHAFF.
Papa northbound, hold short of 29. Cross Runway 29, turn left on Zulu hold short of 22R. Cross Runway 22R, taxi to Signature....all while every transmission is stepped on by Continental at Romeo Golf.
