Are AA pilots protesting something?

[Kenney G]

I have noticed a couple of AA MD80's taxing at a snails pace lately. Just wondering if they are upset at something. I am all for it. They help me overblock a couple of legs the past two days.

 

[ferlo]

Are AA pilots ever not mad at something?

 

[Jim Smyth]

Its called Max Pay Taxi.................

They have been doing it for years during the good and bad times. I always try, if possible, not to ever follow behind them. Pretty pathetic! Hard to believe they are ever on time.



The old adage goes like this............the ground controller is working a busy airport and says:

Delta, are you lost?

United, I don't have time to argue with you now!

American, are you having any mechanical problems?

 

[Bavarian Chef]

I was told by a buddy there they are in a "job action".

 

[Bavarian Chef]

Although he didn't say which: hand or blow.

...and from your profile you claim to be a SWA CA.

what do ground controllers say to you?

I am sure there are a bunch of us who could come up with a few classic quotes for you.

never throw stones in glass houses my friend!

SWA, the FAA has just grounded your aircraft for non-compliance with scheduled maintenance. Turn left at Taxiway Alpha.
