When the flights are blocked a bit high as it is (we are on the winter schedule and the deicing hasn't started yet) we would have to taxi slow as hell and still show up within 15 mins and have the same pay. I would say to be by the book, taxi at a safe speed (brisk walk per the AIM) and fly the profiles. This way everyone is legal and we can all say "we are professionals".
Another reason why it wouldnt work here is because we hired alot of Gulfstream guys, who are all now capts...
I was taxiing slow as ba$$s in DTW the other day and this idiot on the radio goes "beep beep" as I rounded the corner on K it was on of our guys right on my a@@. So I stopped because a pax got up... I hate it when that happens.
These Gstreamers paid 20K to fly a 1900, you think they even care if they get paid here? They just like to look in the mirror at the super 8 motel and see those shinny wings.
Pinnacle is filled with idiots that think 1000hrs of PIC and then they are gonna get this magic job at the best airline in the world...
I give ASA guys ALOT of credit because they have ba%%s and we dont.
