Stopping a taxi and setting the brakes? Really? In NY, LA, ORD or ATL? Yeah, that'll work. NOT a good idea.
Exactly... I don't mind us doing them on the fly one bit... we do it all the time when we get a runway change. However, this procedure is absolutely retarded. Stopping and setting the brakes? Come on! They can do better than that for the paychecks that they get.
