Posts like yours do not help
I was simply saying that there's more than one reason for a go around. Show me where I "jumped on your case" as you put it. Careful with the bold part, you can get zinged for flambebait with that language. A former mod is probably spinning right now wishing he still had that authority

Maybe I should go into the flight training forum and ask the pre-private students where you stop after crossing a hold short line since apparently the major guys you reference with your sarcastic remarks don't seem to know and post the answer in the majors forum.... I am trying to offer what I have learned to help make everyone's lives easier, you decide to try get things fired up. Since you have been based everywhere, you sure seem to know better
You chose to start a thread about a specific airline, yet elected to include another airline that has committed a foible, why? So do as you wish. I'm guessing neither you, nor anybody at the airline that employs you has EVER made a boo boo at one of the world's busiest airports? Or simply stopped the airplane awaiting further instructions because as professional and safe pilots that what we're trained to do?

You picked up on sarcasm earlier, how it got lost here is beyond me, sorry.
