It eliminates the guessing game and having to change the FMS and do a needless runway change procedure during an unfamiliar taxi whilst being reeled in by a 767 who's pilot has to take a sh...

9 flights out of ATL in the past few days and every single one was a push straight back, mains on line, with no indication which way we were going until I called for the taxi. Kinda late by then...

Use your Jepps Attention All Users page for RNAV SIDS. It'll tell you which runway you are going to get.
