ASA planes taxiing too fast!

[SWA GUY]

Southworst never has nor ever will teach me anything! As a matter of fact I purposely taxi slower when they are behind me and use entirely too much thrust to get rolling since I know they are right up my six.

Had you gotten hired at SWA, instead of being rejected for the fool you are, you might have learned some things.

Guys you need to slow down especially in ATL. The POH says that straight ahead taxi speed should not exceed 15 knots.

Surely you would you be referring to the AFM not the POH.

For slow taxing insturction get behind an AA Mad Dog at ORD

Man, we still have guys who won't reject planes with maintenance discrepencies..../quote]

Just curious, but how likely is it to get cabin temps in the 37C-38C range with an operating APU? I ask because during my 1.5 hour taxi in ATL tonight I heard 2 Captains on 31.15 asking flight control about returning to the gate because they had those temps in the back and were looking at an hour plus taxi. I wouldn't want to judge anyone unfairly, but I've never seen 37 or 38 with an operable APU so I would suspect they might have taken busted airplanes.

I flew in to ATL that night to renew my ID card in the AM. My bag was lost so I was waiting in the lost bag office and listened to several passengers that were on that flight. They ALL new the crew had set them up as when they made their PA to let the pax know what they were going to do, the pax ALL wanted to press on and that the temp was "not bad at all". I gave the 20 or so pssengers from that flight every excuse that I could think of but they would not buy any of it. I rode the hotel van with several of them and they were quite upset.

The problem as I see it is that when the complaints come out it wont be because the temp was to high, but that the crew did it on purpose because they wanted to go home (I dont think any one of them knew that there were contract issues at stake). I explained the rules and safety issues related to excessive cabin temps but the pax ALL stated the temp was NOT to hot. I have been on MLOA for some time and understand the issues our pilots are going through but maybe a better explination to the pax may be in order.
Good luck to you guys

You sure can!

But you and the company will be liable when the 200s crappy ECS system and lack of airflow off the engine bleeds causes somebody to have a stroke, asthma attack, or other major medical problem directly attributed to unsafe temperatures during an overly long taxi time.

My buddies at CHQ tell me your CRJs get conditioned air in the CAL system. Unfortunately, some airlines don't want to spend the $$$ to purchase conditioned air carts...that is, if they even know WTF a conditioned air cart is...

PSA finally rented some AC carts....for the baggage compartments! Apparently some bottles blew because they over temped sittin on the ramp in CLT during one of our 4 hour productivity breaks.
I'm fortunate enough to be able to hold the 700 so I actually get to sit in the AC on the ground, but even on the best day it's hotter than 5 shades of hell in the 200. That thing sucks!

SWA guy, you suck!

(Do you think that if I send you my stuff you could get me an interview?)

Maybe someone had to poop

Nope, you just need to wait at least five years for a contract.

On a side note you make a good burger.
