But if you know better, you can let your captain know and I’m sure he will let you taxi and wear //// from the right seat.

Please enlighten us on one of “these ways” you can tell your captain to taxi at a faster rate of speed... The FAA recommends a fast walking speed for all aircraft operators, this is not specific to student pilots, and most all 121 requires a slow taxi speed using a minimum amount of braking.

Agreed. I find the brisk walk explanation idiotic, particularly when there are published maximum taxi speeds (in a variety of conditions) for the Ejet. Brisk walk was designed for a new pilot in a 152, not for a 121 carrier. This is what happens when we get guys who only have CFI experience prior to coming to Mesa - they operate these jets like a piston single.

For what it’s worth, I found this in our FAA approved flight manual:
Taxi Speed and Braking:
“On long straight taxiways, in good weather conditions, and with no ATC or other ground traffic constraints, the CA may allow the aircraft to accelerate to 30 KT, and should then use one smooth brake application to decelerate to 10 KT.”

Just FYI... The company has not extended 300% pay for opentime picked up beyond October 17th.
Reason: If you pick up the opentime in ANTICIPATION of the company extending the timeline for 300% pay, have fun flying on your days off at regular pay! They won’t extend 300% if there are idiots who’ll pick it up for regular pay. QUIT BENDING OVER!!!

I watched.. HIGHEST speed was 9 damn knots.
riDICulous.
going up the bridge..damn near came to a stop before he added just enough power to nudge us over.
Sickest thing was he knew he was being a **** and laughed about it. And in-flight, calculated how much taxi time we'd need to over block.
I'm like, "yeah, but these people have connections to make!"
I guess being self-centered and all about money is something I can't relate to. I'd rather provide the service we're there to do.
Just wish one of these days a passenger in the back who was aviation savvy took notice of this and tweeted something to AA or even said something - unfortunately most people back there are on their phones or asleep and unaware of these shenanigans.
