I've seen enough flag carriers taxi onto stand with excess speed to know the common perspective is more to do with prejudice than fact, but then again, I have been guilty of listining to said rumours too. Its just hard to assume that tight schedules/turnarounds, fatigue and apparent management pressures do not have some undesirable effects on some crew's performance. Rather than criticise those that are affected, I will commend those that keep it safe regardless.

This is one more crew whose hightened wisdom will make them less likely to have a taxiing accident and more likely to share said wisdom. Wouldn't that be an asset to any company?

May I be so bold as to suggest to pilots that when their CG is close to the aft limit, nosewheel traction in marginal conditions may be that little bit less than expected.
