It is amazing the one sided narrow focused vision of the FAA. It is perfectly ok for a manager pilot at American to use a cell phone while taxiing; but this is a big no-no. We had to remind a jumpseating FAA inspector a couple years back to turn his cell phone off.
And I see just as many older pilots not wearing bus-driver hats as younger pilots. (I do wear my hat in case you want to attack me)
