So we're all to believe that the Delta boys are so busy doing so much more in the cockpit than the rest of us peons, that taxi light management is 'just too much'???
While some of these posts are in fact pretty humorous to read...it's glaringly obvious that some are rather belittling and arrogant. Excuses, excuses, excuses...of course we should always give the benefit of the doubt to all of those 'low' time Delta Captains, new and old.
Not trying to start a flame war here, but just a friendly reply of 'good point, our guys should try to be more courteous' draws the ire of a few that are just plain clueless. Oh well, you can't fix stupid...(just repeated what was said earlier... ;-)

NOT!
I'm sure it's just some arrogant Delta guy doing a ferry or verification.

If they were turning onto the runway, at least it didn't last long.Denny

I thought for a moment to really light him up in retaliation or even say something on the radio, but decided otherwise in the name of actual professionalism.
If you don't like the lights of the guy on the runway, look away. They are the ones in the line of fire, not you.
