Thrust Reversers out while taxiing???

[Axel]

What's up with the CHQ crj's in IAH taxiing with TR's deployed? Is that not against company op's?

You fly your airplane, he'll fly his. If he's doing it wrong he'll get fired.

PSA can't give a decent reason not to do it other than it costing the company $18 per cycle or some bs like that. I will take that into account when they quit treating us like sh!t. A lightly loaded CRJ likes to haul @ss on the ground at idle, so I pop one occasionally to keep the ride nice. I wish more people would try to taxi smooth...I'm seein a major lack of effort. BTW, what's the big hurry? Don't all of us get paid by the minute (except you mesa, you suck)?

Oh and idle reverse only on dry runways longer than 6500 feet.

It depends on the aircraft. Some are authorized for backing up the aircraft even. I've seen many a C-17 do this.

You responded to a quote by NEDude, specifically referring to operations of aircraft at Air Wiskey...stating that it depends on the aircraft. Which aircraft at Air Wiskey is it to which you refer, then? Non-sequitor...but you invoke the C-17 while responding to a quote about Air Wisconsin...you're familiar with a secret Air Wiskey C-17 operation, are you?

THAT must be where those bastards in ATW spent all the pilot concession money they didn't give to UAL!

Airlines really get charged per thrust reverser actuation?
