What level would an emergency have to rise to to land on a taxiway and not lose your job.
 
More like a management know it all, ass happy pants pilot!
 
What level would an emergency have to rise to to land on a taxiway and not lose your job.

A medical emergency at 5am with a slam dunk visual approach to the inboard in a 767, and a checkairman puking in the jumpseat with food poising?

Thankfully no one waiting on the taxiway huh. That make it ok? Sure had an emergency, but one should land between the white lights, not the blue lights. Just saying. :erm:

How about emergency fuel with a disabled aircraft on the only suitable runway within 20 minutes?

Yeah, still not okay. The other 200 lives were not imperiled until the aircraft landed on the TWY without a clearance (meaning no guarantee of being free of other a/c). A jumpseater covered in vomit is pretty minor compared to a half mile long quarter inch deep swath of blood, teeth, hair and eyeballs smeared across the pavement.

Lesson for me: don't make your own emergency trying to rush an abnormal.
