And don't think that DL, AA, UA, ASA, etc. etc. will give a damn about who is behind them when its their turn at the table.
I know that when we were doing our "safety program" at ASA, We tried to taxi as slow as possible, but never with somebody behind us, if we could help it. I know that it is not always possible to do, but we tried.
Making my commute takes first priority over everything else going on at the time, within the margin of safety or course. Getting out of the gate 10 early is usually the best way. Again, making my commute is number 1. If I'm not trying to get home to my family, then I'm all for the "safety program."
