Sorry I've beat the dead horse to a pulp. It's just a lot of money, and I hate seeing money wasted. If ramp crews had access to this forum, I'd be bringing up a whole bunch of other subjects! Thanks for the response. In the future, I'll just shutup and stew.
Sorry for going off......it's been a long day on the east coast & I'm tired.
I as an FO am always asking for SE taxi. If they want 2 I start both. If there is a long line, I really push shutting #2 down. I DH'd on a 320 LGA-DTW a few weeks ago. 30 minute taxi & they did SE taxi so the culture is changing. Some SE taxi in's are prohitbited. Gates in DTW & LGA come to mind. The guys I'm flying with are getting better about it. I did 3 legs on a 2 day this past week and we SE taxied in & out on all.
It is getting better, & I as an FO will continue to push for it.
