OK, OK, it's time for fun channel 9 stories. First, for any UA employees who are reading, if UA dropped channel 9, as a general policy, I would very seriously consider taking the AA Platinum challenge :-). I have never had the guts to ask a FA to have the pilot turn it on, when it is playing Britney Spears instead of ATC, but I think after reading these stories, I will in the future (esp. if I am sitting in Premier Zone or F)

Coming from SFO to SEA, on approach to SEA. There was a Horizon odd-numbered plane that turned out to be a DASH-8 in front of us (I have forgotten what it was, but it was something like <letter><2 numbers> ) on approach. It's possible that it was some kind of training flight. ATC said "Horizon xxx, you are cleared for landing, there is traffic behind you, exit runway at first available taxiway". Normal operations continue for a few minutes and apparently the Horizon landed.
ATC: "Horizon xxx, when I tell you to exit at the first available taxiway, I expect you to do that and not to pass up three perfectly good taxiways. Now exit the runway NOW."
Horizon: "Horizon xxx, roger."

I hadn't ever heard an ATC chew someone out like that before. There was a serious stack up of planes and this guy was in high stress mode. I'm told that now and then they will tell the pilot "report to tower after shutdown".

But at least he didn't say "expedite". At ORD and other places, you hear that now and then. That seems to be a serious word.
