fv here and I will say I fought this up and down before leaving the office and they cannot and will not use or access the single engine taxi data by employee number. Not only is this against the contract SE taxi makes absolute no sense in the RJ when taxi time is under a half hour, and you have the APU off and two engine operating. (900) Not only in a fuel and workload management stance, but also right engines are replaced due to FOD damage more than the left due to higher thrust settings during breakaway. The list goes on and on and on, still cringing at that article.

an assistant chief at compass years back got so far as applying take off power with a group of deadheaders in the back who heard them start up after getting off the runway.

Shouldn’t the person starting the engine not be taxiing? Seems like a crew issue rather than a problem single engine taxiing. I was LGA based for years and always briefed engine start plans whether left or right seat. If folks have an issue managing an engine start, they might not be cut out for turbine aircraft flying.

We have some weird chart holder trends here. We have a few captains (I guess) that print their own custom cartoon stickers and stick them on the back of the holders. It seems like way too much work and expense for so basic a joke, but hey, whatever

Most just used a pen or sharpie at CPZ but you would find the occasional flying peen stickers (a literal phallus with wings). Those always gave me a chuckle.
