I am always prompting them to see if they want me to shut one down after landing. Some take the hint....some don't. Many act like as if the 320 is a wide-body...they believe it takes two engines to taxi that thing and are afraid of higher jet blast from single engine taxi. (I don't think a 320 has ever blown over anything bigger than a bag cart in history). We have to spread the culture of single engine taxi across the board.

Sure....I want to ask for a big fat payraise (at least restore what we lost) in the next contract. One the same hand, I want to do the best to save the company money from the aircraft operations side (without compromising safety of course).
