Any normal airport would achieve the same thing by skipping a letter and moving on to Echo...

ATL is not any “normal airport”. The Busiest airport in the world operates more efficiently the next ten.

Hold short of THAT taxiway.

“Four south for Dog Four”

Etc.

Show me on this doll where Delta hurt you...

It is really something. But I don't think it's really any more or less efficient than any of the big hubs beyond its sprawling nature, which is easily rivaled by DFW.

I'm enjoying the O'Hare approach.

"Don't you dare talk first outbound, follow the airplane in front of you, do not stop unless asked to do so, and do not cross any runways without explicit clearance. And there are only really 2 or 3 ways to taxi in or out, despite all this pavement."

Sprawling =/ efficient, reference Denver.

Gross. And you're right. Still, DFW's capacity is absolutely amazing.

Runway wise, yes. Terminal wise...

Yeah, that part sucks.

It's the Yankee bridge because it's the northernmost bridge, Yankee!

Kinda like when you're on an elevator and there is no 13th floor?

Isn't there a distinct difference between "Taxiway Delta" and "Detazzzzzzz 459"?

Yeah, about 3 tiers.

Why don't we just end the controversy and petition the FAA to rename it "Taxiway @Derg"?
