At most airlines these days, strobes are turned on with T/O clearnace - not position and hold. The only lights that should come on with position and hold are wing inspection/taxi/runway turnoff lights.
If you're crossing an active runway at night with someone in position and hold, then MAYBE turn your strobes on. But if nobody's on that runway, or on final to that runway, what's the point.
Just my .02. 73
Wisconsin or California? Or the kind you find at Gold Club?
only incl. the two airlines that said them just to get everyone's attention b/c I feel it's important..nothing to do with particular pilot groups, as there's jacka$$ pilots at every airline that would do this.
One time it happened when crossing a runway to take another, the other when I got them on 50 ft early cuz it was 6am in Moline, IL and I didn't think anyone'd be behind me.... at 6am in Moline, Illinois.
Look, when a plane's taking the active, or CROSSING AN ACTIVE RWY, even if the guy gets them on early and strobes are bright as hell, bite your frickin' lip. It's not the time to razz a guy when he's getting ready to roll down a rwy. Even trying to blow it off, it's distracting....As professional as Mesa sharing hotel rooms on short high speeds. Grow the hell up.
Hope everyone else agrees...
There's a reason that Airbuses have automatic strobes that only come on with weight off wheels.

Whatever you say, boss. Just don't get your panties in a wad when I b!tch at you for blinding me right before f#(king takeoff.
