We SE taxi with the operating engine boost pump on. Never had an issue.

Seems like some people don't understand systems a little bit and felt like making up their own procedures.

Good point, or just simply are unaware of what they are doing. Ask a UAL 76 crew how a fuel system MISmanagement worked for them not too long ago coming out of Hawaii.

+1...the only time those go off from gate to gate is the check valve test on first flight of day or if an abnormal checklist calls for it, otherwise they are on, or selected on I should say, as they are not actually on all the time. I will say however that the gravity xflow is about the biggest pain in the @$$ on that airplane.

And also on all CRJs you can't sit more than 10 minutes with your lights on for cooling purposes. Sounds like these guys aren't too up on their systems knowledge. But hey, all DAL cares about is cheap feed...

Only if the x-flow pump is INOP on the 7/9. The 200 has a limitation for single engine taxi but can't remember, been a few years since I flew the bird.

What is this UAL 76 story out of Hawaii?

On the 700/900 if one is on, both are on, you can't just turn off 1 side. And I thought our procedure was universal, since it came straight from Bombardier's engineers. But what do they know? I'm sure GoJets has smarter people in their training department. :rolleyes:

You can if you are single engine and deslect the boost pump switch on the shutdown engine.

Everybody who has flown with CA Zoolander knows he can't turn left, and is sensitive about that. Way to rub it in :D

Why are you so caustic all the time? I don't work for GoJet and was simply pointing out our procedure.

Get over yourself.
