I don't blame tow pilots for anything. I just don't like the signal.
It's too easy for that small percentage of us (like me) that when
anticipating a particular signal, will occasionally misread the signal
that was provided as the one that was expected. I really appreciate a
tow pilot who allows for the failings of us bozos at the other end.

The rest of you, of course, are absolutely perfect, never get confused,
do your checklists 100% perfectly every time, always wear clean
underwear, etc., and if someone screws up at what you can do so
perfectly, it's their own darn fault...

Marc,

I suggest that you do whatever you need to, and retrain yourself that
if you see a signal from the tow pilot, you will WAIT and think to
yourself, "Is that a wave-off or a waggle ?" The wave off is not a
signal for "you need to release in 1 second". That signal is the tow
pilot pulling HIS release.
