AA73,

For the benefit of those that are just curious (since you are most certainly in charge while someone is stuck behind you), what does your operations manual say is a safe taxi speed? Weather and field conditions obviously must be considered, but what can one in trail expect? I guess it is the variance that is so confusing because I have seen some AA guys taxi at what I would consider an expeditious and safe taxi speed. Then again what do I know about a safe taxi speed since I have been brainwashed by SWA? Please enlighten us.
