Hey Easties,
You have already proven yourself complete idiots by leaving all this evidence for the courts. Now for cryin' out loud, stop the delays! Last night two of your 'finest' pushed back into the alley just ahead of an AA 737, us, and two others in SEA. It took you six minutes after the tug disconnected to call for a clearance. You did your control check, then nothing. Finally, when the AA pilot called you out, you replied 'Bite me' over the radio. Really classy and professional guys. Then, after you called for taxi clearance and got it, it took another minute to actually start moving. At a ground speed of two knots! You are so obviously digging your own graves with this stupid action. We were all late to our own gates because of your ridiculous antics. Grow up, remember that you were once professionals, and understand that reality dictates what you get. Not your juvenile dreams of godhood.
