Prescision Air - Bad airmanship

After flying into DAR the last few months, I've am amazed by the total lack (in general) of airmanship shown by the guys flying for Prescision on the ATR's.

Taxing at V1 seems the order of the day as well as bantering with eachother on frequency.
A new one which got me was hearing them call for taxi when the hadn't even closed the doors! We were just finishing out after start checklist when they called. We then called for taxi and were told by ATC to taxi no.2 to the ATR even though they hadn't even started up yet. Because ATC there is generally fast asleep, we had to sit for a further 5 mins burning JetA1 while they got going.
What will you achieve by this? All you do is delay/annoy other a/c and crews.

I'm sure there are one or two of you guys who do things properly, but in general the attitude towards airmanship displayed by the Prescision crowd sucks
