I particularly enjoy the feeling the low ceilings give. Right when it opens up and feels a bit more spacious and you don't mind the too-high-of-an-indoor-temperature anymore? Yep, that means it's time to pack onto an escalator to wait for a train that slams on the brakes four times on the way to the curb.

Edit -- To ATL's credit though, no other facility in the USA has demonstrated an ability to move as many passengers per year without having chronic ground delays. ORD is finally improved with the new runways but still can't quite pull it off in the same way.

Yeah, was gonna say, I would call ORD worse than Atlanta.

I also know several instances where crews have gotten themselves into trouble (landing with little fuel), by just pushing the thrust levers forward and not flying their profile.

Do you really? Or are you just repeating rumors? Because I've heard these rumors my entire career, but in twelve years of union work, I never had to represent and never heard of another rep having to represent someone for flying off-profile. I've known guys who landed with 500 lbs of fuel and still didn't have to do a carpet dance.
 
Not rumor but fact from the ASAP program.
Trouble is perhaps a nebulous word. While getting into trouble with the FAA is definately a concern an even greater concern is putting yourself and those who trust you with their lives in danger- yes, another form of "trouble" that may or may not result in FAA action especially if it falls under the ASAP program.
Just once on this website I would like pilots to look and think about what is being written instead of being jack rabbits. If a company plans your fuel burn at a certain Mach number/altitude and you chose to deviate from these planning numbers than your fuel burn may or may not be valid. Passengers have unknowingly been put at risk due to pilots blowing off these numbers. ASAP has brought to light this and other "troubling"/hazardous situations that a few years ago went unnoticed.

Willy's in the A-spine about lost their ever-loving minds when I ordered a bean and cheese (and salsa only) burrito.

"No meat?"

"Nope"

"You aint on no diet is you?"

"Nope!"

"That's all you want"

"Yup!"

"Is you sick?"

"Nope"

"You one of them vegetarians?"

"Nope"

"I gotta charge you full price"

"Ok!"

#6 (add mustard myself) with an FO and ring = my standard meal leaving ATL for SEA :)

The only thing that would result from an ASAP filing would be a Letter of No Action, or at worst, a training event. Nothing that would show up on your record or result in a carpet dance with the CP.

Please quote the part where I wrote that a pilot would get called into the CP office or have something put in their record. I don't seem to recall having written that.
Again, by "trouble" I did not imply in any way legal trouble. I meant safety trouble as in they landed with minimum fuel. You do understand that trouble has several meanings and "being in trouble" is only one of them? Almost running out of fuel is a state of "trouble" and is what I was referring to which is why I mentioned ASAP.

As for crews getting in trouble for running low on fuel you may want to do a search of the NTSB legal data base. There are a few in there.
