Havn't any of you guys ever been to O'Hare? What is considered being cut off at any other airport is normal ops at ORD. Hell, even half the traffic on the same taxway is on another frequency (inbound and outbound ground frequencies).
Every airline has bad apples. But the cowboys at different airlines seem to be the worst offender for different reasons. In my experience, United would never give way to Atlantic Coast, first when we recieved the first RJs, then when we announced FLYi. United would probably still cut us off at IAD, but ground traffic moves so slow there that it is impossible for anyone to cut anyone off.
AA and Eagle seems like the worst in general at ORD, perhaps for the reasons given earlier. I've been intentionally cut off at ALB by Southwest as well. Have people at my airline done it? Absolutely, I'm sure it's happened.
"The aircraft on the other's right has the right of way". This rule applies on the ground as well, and seems to be long forgotten.
