I'm based in PHL and I'd say we have our share militant guys, but nothing like you're describing.

Everybody I fly with doesn't do .81 everywhere (unless it's a redeye home and even then, it's rare). Most guys fly managed speed. I'll give you that we're pretty lax on our single-engine taxi, but sometimes it's warranted to start both. I'm sorry, I don't feel all warm and fuzzy taxiing single-engine with a 321 weighing close to 200K out of the allies in PHL.

Most of the guys I fly with are pretty happy, seeing as they did get their first raise in over 15 years and they're happy things are moving in the right direction.

Again, what you write is not the norm...at least not with PHL AB Captains.
