When told by ATC to 'expedite across the 1s,' at an airport where anyone who's been there more than once can tell you that the customary procedure is to roll past the intersection before exiting the runway, I find it hard to believe that anyone would grind to a halt ON THE INTERSECTING RUNWAY. But the double-breasted admiral that night certainly did.

Yawn. Filler.

you seem upset over something extremely trivial.

If you aren't familiar and weren't told in advance to expect it, it's not instantly obviously where the 1's are...that intersection area is a mess. To expedite through you have to land and then roll without brakes or TR's, not something that's prudent if you don't know exactly what you're doing. I have trouble getting new FO's to do it even with a briefing, everybody wants get their stop on early.

Always better to stop too soon than too late...

Maybe it was his first time and they were unfamiliar. Plus it was at night, so...

Old story: Long ago, Frankfurt Tower snapped at a PanAm double-breasted admiral "Vat iss ze matter...you haf never been here before?"
He drawled "Oh yeah, back in '44. Didn't land though...". :D

That is an oldie but a goodie. The airline changes with every telling but it's still funny 😂

Looooong PA Announcements with IFE
 

The single most complaint I get today from friends/customers are long winded PA's while in flight. It's 2016 and our passengers know what the weather in ABQ is and the 2/3 who can't see out the window don't care about flying over the grand canyon. What they do care about is you just stopped their movie to update them about nothing. KCCO

That and th FAs that have a long winded announcement about the fabulous food and beverage on this flight. Ya I know, they do it because their manual tells them to. Still its sooooo annoying. All I want to do is watch my movie, listen to my tunes, catch some zzzzs, and sometimes just flirt with the smokin hot passenger sitting next to me (though usually its some fat sweaty hot dog eating perv, who wants to tell me how to do my job) :cool:

You serve hot dogs inflight??
