AirTran management is apparently concerned that some pilots are "taxiing too slowly" as a reaction to the lack of progress at the table.

Does any major airline publish suggested taxi speed guidance in their Flight Ops Manuals? Any input from UAL or AMR guys would be especially welcome.
V1 - 5kts at WN
2 kts or less at AA or if you are in contract neg...pilots must look out the side window to see if they are moving
for the rest...
10kts on a standard day, then apply corrections below...
- Add 1 kt for every min you're late
- Subtract 1 kt for every min you are early but no less than AA taxi speed
- Add 15 kts if it is the last leg of the trip
- Add 30 kts if you have a flight to catch
U. S. Navy rules used to be (maybe still):
In the line area, no faster than a man can walk.
On the taxiway, no fasterr than a man can run.
