Skywest problem in IAH
 
There was a skywest jet that for some reason was stopped on the taxiway, they bussed the pax off, and there were a couple emergency trucks around it. Didn't look like anything too crazy just wondering if anyone knows what happened.

Saving on fuel costs by not taxiing all the way to the gate. New SOP's ;)

I was wondering what issue it had where it could Taxi that far and then not complete the rest of way.

The pilots just realized we didn't have a union and wanted to work for xjet.

I don't think you're going to get a serious answer ;)

Maybe they were having a steering problem and there was no one who could go out there and tug the aircraft in?
