The American crawl is back....

or did it ever end?

Nothing like getting stuck behind an AA 737 taxiing at 5 kts.

I got stuck behind an LCC east 757 going 1kt off of 8 taxiing to the B gates in Phoenix. That was several months ago though.

AA is safe. Slower is safe. Stopped is safest.

As long as it's not a double-digit taxi, what's the problem?

He knows it was East because the guy had his blinker on the whole time.

It was actually on taxi in from landing on 26, not 8. It took awhile to get to the gate. It was so slow I could have probably done a full alignment without any problem.

Boy this guy is full of himself....Surprized he didn't say he once shaved his own hair off his head and mended a sweater with it for a child that was cold sitting in 9F. Somebody's single or divorced and lives with his parents....

Taxiing at a "brisk walk" is recommended in the AIM

Are we talking the "brisk walk" to your deadhead to a 9 hour overnight on day 1 or the "brisk walk" to catch the last flight home at the end of a trip?

What a putz.

Putz calls my Chief Pilot and asks him if it's ok to buy my passengers pizza on a weather delay. Mind you, he is asking? to jumpseat.

Two great things happened.

Prior to re-planing, he got Voicemail instead of my chief.
After re-planing, the agent came down with the most excellent news there was an empty seat in the back.

If I never see this guy again it will be too soon.

What a wonderful guy! His mom must be so proud of him. I bet he had glamour shots made in his uniform. Can't wait for him to J/S and offer him a nice hot free cup of STFU!

Is he going to eat all those pizzas himself?

What's the problem? You guys get paid by the hour, right?

LOL, I saw an EXTREMELY safe taxi in AUS recently. As we passed him, he looked REALLY safe!! I am not sure the "walk" was all that "brisk," but it was safer than hell!!

I can make more $$$ in a month by logging less hours per trip.

I understand the "crawl" thing, and due to contractual issues, have done it myself in previous lives, BUT, if there was someone behind me, I'd pick it up or let them by. Have a little consideration for your fellow professionals.

I've been hosed by the "crAAwl" a bunch of times over the years, but the record has to be the time I got stuck behind an AA Maddog in ABQ. He was #1 for departure and "taxiing" on the outer. We pushd a few mnutes after him, and taxied normally on the inner and had to hold short of the outer for over 10 minutes so we could follow him to 26. It took us 27 minutes (even longer for them because they pushed before us) to taxi to 26, and they STILL weren't ready at the end, so we ended up going before them anyway. They probably had to let the brakes cool after dragging them so long.
