That's just too transparent and easy to shoot down. I think if 100 seaters, E190s, comes up it'll be far more craftier and a watch this hand and ignore the other.

Yes, they did that before in the late 90s early 2000s. As a new-hire I did sims in ATL, MIA and SLC. Of course, we also had a plethora of SLIs back then too. That was the best training I had at this airline. As previously stated, they were hiring 90/month and training was much more involved than it is now.

pax,
Last Friday I was in MCO and we called for taxi exiting the ramp area. We were cleared to taxi to 17R. To our right was a SWA 737 taxiing fairly fast on the inner taxiway. Realizing we would slow him down if I chose the inner, we taxiied across and down the outer taxiway instead. My feeling is that was the courteous and professional thing to do.
As we taxied down the outer, ground control said "SWA 756 you'll follow the Delta Airbus to your right, contact tower on frequency xxx.x". (They had called for taxi after us). They did not respond to the transmission. Ground then instructed us to contact tower on the same frequency.
SWA 756 then called tower and announced they were ready for takeoff. Tower rewarded SWA 756 by changing the takeoff order and we had to wait about three extra minutes.
Which crew were courteous and professional, and which were immature?
