Ok to put the thread back on track.

The capt I flew with...

pushed off the gate, get taxi instructions to the runway.

Delta behind us calls for taxi, ground tells him to follow the ERJ to the runway.

We're in a CRJ and we hadn't started taxiing yet, the capt gets on the radio to correct ground, "Ground we're a Canadair Regional Jet not an Embraer Regional Jet"

Ground apologizes, tells Delta to follow the CRJ to the runway.

Delta "It's still a regional jet"

We still haven't moved yet

He answers Delta "This C-R-J is the fastest regional jet in the sky. We fly Mach .83 what can you do?" (Delta was a 737)

I can't believe this crap is going on and want to yell "OMFG just **** and *********g taxi the d****d plane" Instead I tell him we're holding up progress - we gotta move.

Delta "We make more than you each minute you're sitting here yapping your flaps"

He slow taxis riding and burning up the brakes all the way to the runway. I couldnt help myself and jumped on the radio to apologize to ground and Delta for my captain's behavior.
