Then she comes back and tells us to hold short. We already were.  Turns out she was a trainee and was going to have us cross 34L as a plane was landing. We do listen.  |
Its usually not difficult to tell when there is a trainee on the mic. This happens and just keep your head on a swivel and be careful.
