Correct! I should have stated directly across from our aircraft.

Why do you guys look at the lights? You know it's going to happen some of the times, so look away. The parking brake is on, your plane isn't going anywhere.

It cracks me up when I'm not looking and the Captain is just staring at the plane. Then, "AAAHHHH!!! The light! What a retard!!"

Yeah buddy, HE is the retard. The next big accident will probably be a runway incursion. I say burn the hell out of their eyes and save some lives.

Can you spell TCAS and strobe lights? Granted TCAS is inTA mode on the ground. It prevents inadvertent line up with traffic on final during LVPs.

And the seats in the cockpit are supposed to be comfortable.

KillingMe, as a night freight guy, I must be a tool and a retard TOO!
I get it most of the time from "day" pilots who happen to be operating after the sun has dropped. Position lights, turn-off and logo lights are cool but please hold on the strobes and the landing lights until you get your takeoff clearance.
Cheers and thank you, from the bottom of my retinas!

Suck it up- strobes and turnoff lights should be on whenever you're on a runway!
