Alliance E190 taxi speeds
It's getting a bit of a joke how slow you all are taxiing. I'm talking long, wide, dry taxi ways too not corners or in the wet. 10 to 15 kt the whole time - is it that time of the month where you need to hit your productivity bonus hours? Bet Qantas are thrilled with how you're contributing to on time performance while slowing the rest of us down too.

Whilst speaking of things slow…. How about a shoutout to the VA drivers given max speed to the field yet everyone behind them get profile, then 250, then bring it back to 220 because they didn’t wind it up. Here’s a thought! If ya not gunna put the pedal down, just say unable, and that your happy to join the back of the sequence thanks. Not all of us are building twin time.

Those who flew the ejet at VA may remember the design flaw in the nosewheel assembly that can shimmy/shudder the whole aircraft when the taxi speed is between 18-21kt (from memory). So you either had to be above or below that usually-ideal speed.
Who cares about OTP anyway? Thats some desk jockeys KPI, not a pilots!!

Just because you can taxi fast doesn't mean you should.
Like most things in life, wait your turn, you aren't the only person on the planet.
If I want to take my damn time I will.

Such a mature responce shown by a vastly experienced pilot who has flown the world (well WA and maybe a trip to NT to really get experience! )

Mate I can taxi a Cessna around at 30kts. If you can’t taxi a jet at 30kts maybe it’s time you hang up your boots and retire.

and no, one isn’t the only person on the planet, they are one of MANY, who are all waiting behind you.
