Mod Note:

Ok, Mike, Corn and Cecil, the three of you can stop it now. Move on. Lots of tool material to cover.

Wearing inside (assuming you're not "retro" with auto dimmers), or attached to your flight attendant stirrup, you might be a tool.

To the freaking Delta Captain today out of DCA to ATL. You sir are definitely a tool. I really enjoyed how you waited out your EDCT time, in the alley at spot 1 in DCA. Well done! You completely blocked all movement in and out of the alley, scerwing over several aircraft. Best part of all, well done by saying that you can not move your jet due to the fact that you need your paper work. You sir are awesome! Thank you.

Sounds like the United guy who wouldn't move out of the alley until he got his number, saying it was illegal. Ground pleaded with him to move even. Blocked about 6 or 8 aircraft trying to get in for about 30 minutes. Wonder how many missed connections that cost.

Imagine if someone just wanted to stop in Charlotte until they got a number. As if that place isn't chaos already.

Definitely inconsiderate. What "paper"work was he waiting for off the gate at spot 1 blocking the alley that couldn't be delivered in one of the blocks?
