We certainly wouldn't. In any case I was referring to other illegal
instructions e.g. unauthorised wrong direction movements that some Line
Controllers have ocasionally done.

Once you start breaking the rules then a accident becomes more and more
likely as more shotrcuts.

I've heard a rumour that anyone wanting to become a Line Controller is
asked "Would you break the rules in order to avoid delays to the
service?"

A "no" answer usually guarantees that the applicant is rejected.
