I watched one of the slow taxi events in Nov 95 while I was a ramper at RIC. It was pretty obvious what they were doing. They were the IND inbound, with a EWR based crew, which we turned to ORF each morning. The MEM inbound was a more "normal" and "timely" taxi. My ramp mgr was a Tiger guy and he and I just stood there shaking our heads laughing, while the rest of the knuckle dragging rampers were p!ssed because it was delaying their getting home or to their "real" jobs! I think these guys just got some time off with out pay if I remember correctly.
