I have a quick question for DAL-N guys. I've been riding on your Airbuses a lot lately (about seven times over the past couple weeks), and not once did the pilots single engine taxi. All the taxi times have long enough to single engine taxi with some as long as 20-25 minutes. Does the Airbus have some kind of limitation on it for single engine taxi? I'm even looking at a DC-9 and A320 here in MSP with both air and power hooked up, but APU's running. I'm just curious what's up with all the fuel burning? Is there something I'm missing?
