I've never had to wait for the runway to give a passenger jet priority. I don't know if certain airports might provide that service during peak times to their primary customers, but it's never been an issue with me, even out of some of the busiest international airports. Fact is we tend to operate during off peak times anyway. The times we get stuck in the peak hours are when we're running behind schedule. Otherwise, we're in the departure line just like everyone else. Only difference is that we've already shed our ties, cause no one's going to see us.
