no we taxi at 70 so we can get to the gate and get off the plane before management gets to the gate to inform of us our junior man.

Asking for a friend. #notreally

No, but they sure can try and fire you.

You took a lot of flak for this being unsafe but I'd contend that it can be done perfectly safely once you're away from the ramp, especially at outstations where there's usually nobody taxiing directly behind you. The problem is that as the cabin cools down, your brakes will quickly heat up and you might even end up having to delay your takeoff to let them cool, which defeats the whole purpose. Ask me how I know ;)

Maybe it's not...not what the folks say, that the government and unemployment is paying people to stay home...maybe its that ground services pay absolute ****. $9.50 most outstations. Maybe MX pays **** for what they do. Yea MX just got a raise but it's still really hostile. Corporate is making a war over small things.
