The really funny thing, is both aircraft in question did not have a gate waiting for them.
So the chief pilot involved who used his cellphone, was rushing, just so that he could go sit somewhere waiting for a gate! That is something pax REALLY hate. As long as the airplane is moving they feel like they are still getting somewhere, but to sit in a penalty box waiting for a gate drives em CRAZY!
In January we were told by management to SLOW DOWN. As an airline we were taxiing too fast. So go figure.
So far, we have learned that the chief pilot in question was a menace to public safety, AND was not doing a good job to serve his own passengers.
