Yes. Fly from your own seat unless you're a LCA. Your FOM most likely spells that out.
I might switch seats to taxi if I though that would get first responders on board faster. Otherwise take the high speed and then they can come get me with a tug.

Either way if your going to break rules and allow a non cass non approved person up front why would it matter what seat you're in at that point. Everyone has different comfort levels

personally my thought is a tug would take longer and that’s probably not time the CA has to spare.

and they don’t even have to show us their “license and medical either”
so we seem to cherry pick the logic we want to use as the base behind our policy too!
