Also, our FOQA guys have started calling out egregious taxi speeds, even on long downhill straightaways like LAS taxiway C and the DEN 17R taxi back where there is literally nobody and nothing around.

Having someone there to play referee will definitely help the situation. In addition, they are adding a whole new concourse with buses going back and forth. What can possibly go wrong, right?
I don't rush anything and I honestly haven't flown with many people here who do, and really none in the last 5 or so years. That being said, I don't want to sit on a gate for 20 minutes while the mess gets sorted out on its own (not a figure I pulled out of my butt, I very recently had this scenario twice in one week). While I don't really care about the company's metrics, when my goals and their goals align, I am going to try to achieve them. I would personally rather spend another night at home instead of an extra 15 minutes waiting to push. Not sure how not wanting to sit at a gate with the jetbridge pulled back is rushing, but the APC way seems to be to jump all over anyone who isn't part of some made up amateur hour job action that nobody else seems to know about, so I guess maybe I am rushing? I don't know. You decide.

I've already decided 🙄

I didn't say "not deviate from the line". I said not "move"! Yes there are tiller drivers here who will stay stationary. Just had one and it's rather frustrating. Don't be him
