Brakes work...

[CX880]

99.9% of my flight i have ATC telling me to expedite to clear the runway. It's always rush rush rush. Expedite to your gate etc....
Now I couldn't care less. Pax and brakes come first. Screw ATC.

There is no reason for you to do that other than trying to be deuch. Be careful so that you don't get behind one of your types when you have low fuel and going around is not an option. Karma is a real lady.

Take it as a sign. This is like the old guy (wearing a hat) driving slow in the left lane on the 405 and can't for the life of him understand why so many people honk, tailgate and give the 'hi' sign these days.

You have severe problems if you ever get to this point.

You are missing my point. It gets very tiresome being told to expedite all the time.
ATC is micromanaging us to death. Left 10 degrees, right 5 degrees. Slow to 180, slow to 170, speed up to 180. Left 5 degrees. Slow to 150.........Expedite off the runway. WTF????
Day in and day out, it gets old.
If your that low on fuel then declare! I will be more than happy to get out of your way.

i was told to expedite off the runway once and i said "sure, but ill need a billing address to send the invoice for my new brakes" then ATC said " uh, roger, left turn when able and contact ground point 7" ..... true story, try it one day.

Thanks anyway, I'd rather not...

I don't get paid any more to make 'em smooth, so I get my money's worth with every chance

They're doing this to get you on your way a little sooner.

Would you prefer we're all 20 miles in trail with a 4-hour EDCT?

 

[ex j-41]

Yea, we have 30 mile finals anyway. Flying at 150. Then they tell me to expedite. Whatever!!!!

Just thought of an old saying from a famous old basket ball coach..... "Be quick - but don't hurry!" ~John Wooden.

 

[samballs]

They ain't my pax (comair) their Delta's, so what do I care

 

[at7driver]

when its -58 C upstairs the RJ's don't heat your feet well.. the hard braking is simply due to partial frostbite and no feeling in one's feet..

the braking will get smoother later in a month or so...........

WOW!

you are the man!

What I don't understand, is after all the heavy braking, having to add power to get to the next turnoff.
