Just curious... is it SOP at Skywest to taxi around, wasting valuable minutes after landing, while you have indications of a fire inside your aircraft?

Too bad you weren't on the jumpseat so you could get 'em squared away.

Tell me what scenario exists out there, to taxi to the ramp area to evacuate the aircraft. Seconds count when there is a fire on board. It is not judging, it is common sense.

Smoke in the cabin isn't an indication of an active fire aboard the aircraft. With the light smoke as seen in the video, it is far safer to take two mins to taxi to the gate than deplane on the runway.
