Wake turbulence avoidance and ATC

I think you will find that, as usual, it's up to you to get the spacing you
need. Simply tell the tower you need x minutes for wake turbulence. You cannot
be forced to takeoff on their schedule. They will accomodate you if you let
them know what your needs are.

He flew into Logan airport. If you pull that I need three minutes crap
at an airport of that size then you shouldn't have landed there in the
first place. The controller would most likely taxi you back off the
runway and send you to the end of the line or some other runway. When
there are 42 jets lined up on the taxiway and your spamcan in the middle
if you can't play by the big boys rules then you need to get to a
smaller sandbox.
