AAL gives atc problems almost anywhere they fly with the slow taxi speeds, complaining when we let someone go past you, wanting to push when you don't have your #'s, or we'll have our #'s when we get to the end as you slow ever more and still don't have your #'s. Other airlines wonder why atc just doesn't always put AAL at the back instead of letting them be a roadblock. The reason we don't is AAL thinks they are doing nothing wrong and are the 1st to complain about their "perceived preferential teatment" which means paperwork, pulling tapes, talking to the controllers involved. There is no one outside AAL that doesn't think they are the slowest in the industry.
