Runway incursion risk at ORD!?!

Fast talk, no breaks, runway
incursion risk at ORD?

Chicago O'Hare ground controllers issue taxi instructions to as many as
10 aircraft without a break. They do this at machine gun speed and if you
miss or don't fully understand the instructions the first time, your in
trouble. (You become the black sheep.) It's crazy that controllers - and everyone else - hurry just to arrive at your runway with 20 airplanes ahead of you. Why hurry and wait? Why risk a runway incursion? Why not wait for each pilot to read back the instructions. This is an unnecessary situation.

WAAAAAAAAWAAAAAAAAA

Being a pilot whom flew in and out of ORD for two years, when I read this I had to laugh. I think I remember this poor guy wandering around the airport wondering why ground has told everyone but the King Air "STOP" or telling everyone "don't folow the King Air"

Just thought it was funny!

I would love to see the congo line that would build if we read back every clearnce. Yicks. I can think of a few times we taxied in off the active all the way to ramp before we were able to get a word in with ground.

A bit off-subject, but somebody told me the two bridges short of 32R are identified by a god-awful string of phonetic letters. But on the ORD airport chart, it looks like they're just part of Alfa and Bravo. Is that how they're identified by Ground?

Yep. They'll instruct you to take the "alpha bridge" or the "bravo bridge".
