Narrative:

Sea tower consistently gives taxi and hold short instructions upon landing while the aircraft is still well above taxi speeds. I have called the tower and discussed the issue many times, but they still insist upon giving taxi instructions at the most critical time during landing, aircraft above 100 knots and first officer landing no time to divert attention from the landing sequence. A clearance to land in and of itself never allows an aircraft to taxi beyond clearing the runway. In the interest of safety, the controllers should be made aware of what is happening at 100 knots. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter stated that he received feedback from the company on the reported incident. The reporter was told that if a hold short clearance was issued by the controller, an acknowledgement was required. He said in this last incident, the first officer was making the landing and was in the process of making a control transfer when the controller was insisting on a response to hold short of the parallel runway.

Narrative: SEA TOWER CONSISTENTLY GIVES TAXI AND HOLD SHORT INSTRUCTIONS UPON LANDING WHILE THE AIRCRAFT IS STILL WELL ABOVE TAXI SPEEDS. I HAVE CALLED THE TOWER AND DISCUSSED THE ISSUE MANY TIMES, BUT THEY STILL INSIST UPON GIVING TAXI INSTRUCTIONS AT THE MOST CRITICAL TIME DURING LANDING, AIRCRAFT ABOVE 100 KNOTS AND FO LANDING NO TIME TO DIVERT ATTENTION FROM THE LANDING SEQUENCE. A CLEARANCE TO LAND IN AND OF ITSELF NEVER ALLOWS AN AIRCRAFT TO TAXI BEYOND CLEARING THE RUNWAY. IN THE INTEREST OF SAFETY, THE CONTROLLERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING AT 100 KNOTS. CALLBACK CONVERSATION WITH RPTR REVEALED THE FOLLOWING INFO: REPORTER STATED THAT HE RECEIVED FEEDBACK FROM THE COMPANY ON THE REPORTED INCIDENT. THE REPORTER WAS TOLD THAT IF A HOLD SHORT CLEARANCE WAS ISSUED BY THE CTLR, AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT WAS REQUIRED.
