A TAXIING FK100; ACFT X; CREW CUTS OFF A TAXIING ATR WHEN THE CREW OF ACFT X FAILS TO HOLD SHORT OF TXWY JY AT DFW; TX.

Narrative

DFW W AND E GND AT SPOT FOR TAXI. GND CTL 121.85 INSTRUCTED TURN R ON TXWY G HOLD SHORT TXWY X. NBOUND ON TXWY G; TOLD TURN R ON TXWY Y FOR RWY 17R; CONTACT GND 121.65 XING BRIDGE. NO STANDARD TAXI RTE GIVEN IN EITHER CLRNC. UNABLE TO CONTACT GND XING BRIDGE DUE TO FREQ CONGESTION. CONTINUED E ON TXWY Y AND HELD SHORT OF TXWY J. GND CTL TOLD AN ATR THAT WE CUT HIM OFF AND SHOULD NOT HAVE CROSSED PAST JY. I DON'T RECALL THE ATR EVEN TAXIING AT SPOT X WHEN WE PASSED BY TXWY JY; OTHERWISE I WOULD HAVE STOPPED AND LET HIM PASS AHEAD OF US. I REALIZE THE STANDARD TAXI RTE RWY 17R BRIDGE STATES TO HOLD SHORT OF TXWY JY; BUT NOT GIVEN THAT ROUTING MAY HAVE LED TO SOME CONFUSION AND I DID NOT WANT TO HOLD UP TFC THAT MAY HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING US ACROSS THE BRIDGE. I DON'T THINK THIS SIT CAUSED ANY SAFETY PROB FOR US OR THE CTLR; BUT IN THE FUTURE WILL CLARIFY ANY CLRNC THAT DOES NOT CONTAIN A STANDARD TAXI RTE. SUPPLEMENTAL INFO FROM ACN 464723: GND CTL FREQ WAS EXTREMELY CONGESTED AND WE HAD TO WAIT FOR GND TO CALL US. IN THE PROCESS WE HELD SHORT OF TXWY J ON TXWY Y. AT THE TIME WE PASSED TXWY JY THERE WERE NO ACFT NEAR TXWY JY. OUR CONCERN WAS TO CLR TXWY JY FOR ACFT TO ENTER PARKING IN THE N AREA. THE GND CTLR MUST HAVE THOUGHT WE WERE GIVEN RWY 17R BRIDGE TAXI INSTRUCTIONS AND WAS TO HOLD SHORT OF TXWY JY. I WAS GOING TO EXPLAIN BUT DUE TO THE RADIO TFC DID NOT WANT TO ADD TO AN EXISTING PROB. I KNOW THERE WAS NOT A SAFETY PROB; BUT DO BELIEVE THAT COM BTWN W AND E CTLRS ON TAXI INSTRUCTIONS WILL PROVIDE A SMOOTHER AND FRIENDLIER FLOW OF TFC.
