PwC India Hi Folks, I left my stable job at Deloitte USI and moved to Germany for a better job. But my mom had a major health issue and I'm planning to travel back to India to support her as I'm a single child. I'm working in one of the top organisation in Germany with a base of 90k euro and looking for good opportunities in India.

Did you try telling them you’re a partner?
M&A tax partner?

Also, that’s not what “sitting duck” or “runway” means
A “sitting duck” is a duck that’s about to get shot because they’re easy to hit. If you’re just saying that you’re sitting there going no where, that’s not an appropriate saying to use.
A “runway” is the straight bit of pavement from which you take off and on which you land. Everything else has a different name: taxiway, run up / holding area, parking ramp, etc.
Coincidently, if you were really sitting on the “runway” this whole time, you’d be a “sitting duck” for collision with a landing aircraft. Just bringing this full circle!
Interesting, but why do we drive on parkways and park on driveways?
No that’s pretty normal protocol. When they do get a takeoff spot they don’t want to have to go through all the predeparture checks again and potentially lose the slot.
Makes sense. Then I guess I have been lucky to not have been spotted on the few occasions I’ve had extended delays off the gates.
Normal. Once you’ve departed from the gate they’ve got you on tight lock until the fasten seatbelt sign comes off above 10,000 feet.
MD1 did you even read my comment?
Federal law. If the captain shuts the engines off he can say it’s ok, otherwise no you can’t use it, nor your phone for that matter and it should be in airplane mode,
And it ain’t worth the fight you won’t win but you could be deplaned or even prosecuted
🤣🤣🤣🤣

Depends. Sometimes the captain will go park somewhere, turn off the seatbelt sign, and generally put everyone ‘at ease’ rather than ‘at attention.’ But sometimes as others say they want to be ready at the drop of a pin so they keep the cabin buttoned up.
