I know that I have wanted to discipline some pilots in front of me from time to time for moving slower than the seasons but this seems over the top.
Annoying? Perhaps. But for your boss to call it unsafe despite evidence to the contrary?
For you boss to get on a cell phone while taxiing and violate an FAR to report you going to slow is amazing arrogance. I hope he gets certificate action.
I believe that the AIM recomends "a brisk walk" as a safe taxi speed.
Have you ever tried a brisk walk down a 12000 foot runway ? It'ill take you 15 minutes !
Not to mention, that if you ever have a runway incursion, and are taxiing faster than a "brisk walk", the FAA will will most likely use that against you.
Since most pilots are paid by the minute its usually not an issue.
lets be safe out there
