Cut them some slack. Maybe they got surprised with the stop when 99% of the RJ's usually pull away at +30kts driving like those little cars in a Shriner's parade. ;)

Key the mike and open your trap at your own peril...

I was taxiing in ORD once, and saw an AA737 haulin’ serious ass towards the intersection. I stoped, but my FO was trying to give me crap for stopping in ORD. He got a few words out when that 737 burned through the intersection like nobody else was around. At that point I calmly looked at the FO and told him that had I listened to him we might be on the news. Now that’s some TOTD stuff

Odd, usually AA guys are moving so slow you can’t tell I’d theyre stopped or not anyway

They are missing a few tiles on their heat shield.

Might have been cactus or LUSA.

Mainline guys including AA seem to be moving the same speed that I remember 30 years ago. Air Wis RJ's used to do the same speed as the others then.

Had a commute to catch once and asked ORD ground if we could pass AA on the parallel coming from 27R. He chuckled, said yep and I made my commute :)

The Captains who leave their seat to go deal with an unruly pax and end up on the news. The best thing you can do is STAY ON THE FLIGHT DECK and let the gate agent handle the situation. Whats gonna bring more notoriety to the company, a pax being thrown off by a gate agent or a pax being throw off by THE CAPTAIN.
