i was just wondering how u guys feel when some of these ATC's come up with stupid instructions and if u don't follow them then they r on ur case. like today i was with a student cleared for take off and while i was entering the runway and student was doing the pre take off checks this ATC tell this other aircraft landing on an intececting runway to turn on the runway i was on and he started yapping at me that i should take off quickly. i wanted my student to be sure that he has done every checks and engines r within the green arc before we go up in the air. its was nothing like a delay on our side otherwise i'd have asked for it. its just that he wanted that other aircraft to be clear of that other runway quick enough so he wanted me to clear that runway as well. rather than he could have asked the other aircraft to clear on the taxi way right next to the runway i was on. i'm not being hard on them as i know that they work under a lot of pressure and i'd certainly not take their job but sometimes they don't think what they r saying or doing. if you do something slightly wrong they r ready to give u a number to call and that goes on ur record but i wish if we could give them a number to call them after they screw up
