It these captains do not want to single engine taxi, that is their right. Most 320 captains never come on this board. *****ing about it on here will not change anything anyway. I'm not going to tell my captain we should single engine taxi because some anonymous poster on a message board told me we should. I know we're not all anonymous as I know a bunch of you, but there are a bunch of you that I still can't put names or faces to.
Last time I checked, these Captains don't own the airplane... Delta does. If Delta is encouraging single engine taxiing and has a safe procedure for accomplishing single engine taxi, then the Captains should be doing it. It's their job and what they're paid to do. It's part of being a professional pilot.
